I'm considering switching to LibreWolf after all the AI crap Mozilla is adding
Librewolf is great. I just add exceptions for a handful of sites I want to retain sessions for and it is very usable as a daily driver

I have five browsers and couple vpns and some extras that I have mix matched to create sort of tier system depending on how legal is the activity I partake in.
Most illegal though you have to physically relocate to some unprotected hotspot by car

I migrated from firefox to librewolf AND Tor this week. Help.
I saw a post earlier this week where Firefox was adding an AI to the browser? That'd make me migrate to libre wolf or water fox.
yea their weird choices of late made me realize that the focus was shifted to money-making and not privacy. So I jumped the ship

I was going to say that librewolf has no declarative extension config on nix, but this does. Neat.
is this what terry davis used

NetCat. /s
Seriously though, I just use Firefox. LibreWolf is basically Firefox with stricter defaults, and over the years I've already tweaked Firefox to use all the privacy features anyway.
I know there's some extra sauce implemented in LibreWolf that Firefox lacks, but that stuff seems like too much of a compromise for me (like canvas fingerprinting).
Plus, I think orange looks nicer in my window list than blue.
I also don't use tor or a vpn unless I can't access anything otherwise. I guess I don't really see the need to, since I don't think I'm doing anything that'll draw the government's attention.
I started moving from Firefox to LibreWolf and found a few too many convenient features broke.
I think password and bookmark syncing was too difficult to move away from, as I use them across devices/phone.
Haven't had time to research alternative methods or practices.
you can enable firefox sync from the librewolf settings. that’s what i do and it works flawlessly

You can turn off canvas fingerprinting or any added feature with a single checkbox. I used to feel the same way about LibreWolf, but once I familiarized myself with the different settings, it became clearly the superior option if you value privacy. I also set my Firefox settings strictly, but then they added new “features” and turned them on by default. That was the last straw for me.

What anime is that?
The character is Miyako Hoshino, the protagonist of Wataten! An Angel Flew Down to Me (Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!), a yuri romcom about a college student falling in love with an elementary schooler, written by a guy
Yes, lesbian pedophile is a subgenre now, and it's mediocre as fuck at best

Librewolf is just a usable Firefox
Clearly 🐺. Been on it like, 3y+? Maybe longer, it's been my primary for a long time. 🦊 as a backup, and for DRM stuff. Chrome/Chromium for shit that just doesn't play well with 🦎. Edge (for windows) is my 'I need to test this with a vanilla browser' and cba to disable ublock etc from chrome incognito.
Iceraven, with backup Vanadium, on mobile.
For mobile, I'd recommend Mull instead of Iceraven
Pros:
- Just like Iceraven, a fork of Fenix
- incorporates the arkenfox user.js
- Doesn't have "No warranties or guarantees of security or updates or even stability!" in its project description
Cons:
- APKs are only on FDroid
- awful name, no animal reference
- awful logo color scheme imo - magenta on turquoise is... an interesting choice
Here's a probably somewhat biased but from quickly skimming over it not inaccurate browser comparison by the developer(s) of Mull:
https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
Also based GrapheneOS user
I've tried Mull and went back, but I can't remember why. Iceraven is 'fine' but seems a touch buggy for some builds. I used to use Fennec for a long time, but I think IR allows installing 'unofficial' add-ons that haven't been vetted or whatever by Mozilla for mobile. But I'll have a look see, maybe my issue with Mull has been resolved.

Tor Browser serves a different purpose/use-case to the first two. The first two are intended for everyday browsing while I've never heard of anyone using Tor Browser as their daily browser—and if you log into websites then using Tor Browser as your daily driver would defeat the anonymity purposes if you're logging in anyway.
I use librewolf for everyday browsing and Tor Browser for things requiring a higher threat model.
