Firefox has a lot of issues, but maybe we don't have any other option.

It's a good opportunity for any Chrome users in the crowd to switch to Librewolf. It may be a small project but it's been around for a while and they haven't made any mistakes that I've heard about. Google has its various off-brand browsers using the engine, why shouldn't Mozilla get some? It comes with uBlock Origin preinstalled, and has none of the telemetry and ads of Firefox.
Have they implemented the update option yet, or does it still rely on unofficial methods for updating?
They provide official deb and rpm builds for linux, which get updated in the usual ways. I don't know about windows but the website says:
Looks like it's available in the Windows Package Manager Community Repository, so you can update it via
winget update LibreWolf.LibreWolfor keep it up to date using the Winget-AutoUpdate tool.Librewolf is also available as a Flatpak
The LibreWolf WinUpdater works great. You get a small pop-up when there's an update and it updates super quickly (in my experience in like 15 seconds).
