@npub16z7…fmyl oh now this is interesting! We also recently split the Core from GUI code which should make your reskin even easier: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/pull/9701

@npub14s5…v0vk This is not for those spreading misinformation, it’s for those receiving it without knowing the context.

Following the recent discussion around the Debian decision to ship KeePassXC without any of its optional modules, we've seen some extreme misconceptions floating around the internet regarding what the WITH_XC_NETWORKING=OFF compile flag actually does.
Let us be clear: KeePassXC does NOT "randomly" connect to the internet in the background, regardless of whether you build with the flag on or off. Claims to the contrary of KeePassXC "surfing in the background" or "calling home" are false.

KeePassXC connects with the internet in only three situations:
1) to check for updates (we ask you first if you agree it and this feature is disabled in downstream packages such as Debian's anyway)
2) when you manually click the button to download a website's favicon on the Edit Entry form
3) when you decide to check your credentials against the online Hibp service (again, by explicitly clicking a button).

That's it. That's all that is removed from your build when you disable the flag. There is no web server running or anything, it's only client code requiring a manual action that is removed (as well as a link dependency to OpenSSL, which may be more significant).

What this flag DOES NOT do is sandbox KeePassXC in any way. It will also not remove Qt's internal networking modules, since these are still required for certain offline functionality such as URL parsing and local sockets (blame Qt for not separating this functionality). It will also not prevent a local attacker from loading other DLLs/SOs/DYLIBs containing network code at runtime.
