New issue by dkwo on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/35259
Description:
I wonder if it would make any sense for Void to build firefox without dbus support, namely
`build_options_default="alsa jack pulseaudio xscreensaver sndio wayland"`,
which would not pull in dbus as a dependency (as it happens for chromium, incidentally).
The same one could say for thunderbird.
Are there important drawbacks in doing this?

Comment:
Other dependencies pull in dbus already, there is no point in regressing features just to get rid of the dbus toplevel dependency.

wayland/pipewire screen sharing and other things done through the xdg desktop portal would probably not work anymore.
The wifi geolocation stuff would break, MPRIS would break.
There are probably a lot more things I'm missing here.

As far as I know, you can simply not use dbus and firefox still works, by either setting an empty dbus environment variable or a configuration option to not automatically spawn it.
Removing the package with the dbus binaries would probably work too.

Comment:
You're right, basically thorugh at-spi2-atk in gtk+3 (though e.g. kiss builds without).
I'll try the ignorepkg=dbus option as you suggest.
Thank you!

Comment:
@dkwo remember also no dbus and at-spi2-atk also hinders the suspend of dpms while video playback,
so I had to disabled dpms when whatching videos longer then my set xorg offtime.
