I have tested it for a while. It is comparable (or even better, in my opinion) to a Firefox with Arkenfox. Its development is active, its results are quite good and, in general, it is a browser that I would personally recommend for any desktop user who wants a browser similar or based on Firefox, wi…

[image] ᚠᛟᚱ ᚠᚱᛖᛖᛞᛟᛗ: Firefox is releasing updates, and it is possible that over time new privacy/security features will emerge in the browser, and if Arkenfox does not update the user.js according to those new features, or if it stops supporting those settings, the counter-criticism falls by its…

Just wanted to share that I’ve been looking for a similarly easy to use alternative to Brave’s forgetful browsing feature. If you click the lock button by the search bar on LibreWolf, it gives you the option to always store cookies/site data for specific websites, while by default, website cookies w…

The slow on updates thing is apparently outdated. Librewolf update regularly within 1-3 days. There was another concern about auto-updates which have also been resolved now. When you install it, you have the option to install a helper file that takes care of the update automatically. There isn’t …

[image] What are the concerns with Librewolf? Unless you flag specific websites as exempt… but that defeats the purpose of Librewolf. No because the strong privacy will still aplly to all other sites, especially does in different containers. [image] What are the concerns with Librewolf? I’…
