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…

[image] SYST3M_D3STR0YER: Could you please give a source to that? Sure, I would’ve cited a source , but I thought I’d already shared those quotes earlier in this (very long) thread. Here are a couple of the statements I was referring to: [Threadpanic] Hey all, I’m on the LibreWolf team, and …

I want to sincerely thank you all for taking the time to explain me why my arguments for including LibreWolf in the browser recommendations was mistaken. After reading your points carefully, I realized that I was wrong and that my reasoning was too simplistic. I truly appreciate the effort you put …

I’d like to offer one more viewpoint as a last pitch I agree that Brave would be the ideal choice for someone who wants a “just works” setup. However, I have also talked with and heard perspectives from others about why they want to avoid Brave. To preface, I personally use Brave, but I can see se…

[image] eylin: Mullvad has their VPN extension there even if you don’t need it, and it is advised not to remove it because of the potential for increased fingerprinting Small correction, but you can actually remove it if you want since the extension doesn’t affect fingerprinting .

Thank you for the correction :slightly_smiling_face:

[image] anonymous477: Librewolf, on the other hand, must be compared to Firefox and/or Brave, if anything; comparisons to Mullvad Browser are therefore off the agenda Why? Mullvad Browser does serve an entirely different purpose being fingerprinting protection. But Librewolf also serve an ent…

[image] any1: Does this target audience even exist, people who can diagnose website breakage caused by LibreWolf and end up reading the LibreWolf wiki to work around it but cannot read the arkenfox wiki to install arkenfox themselves? Yes, actually it does exist, as I myself fit into that cat…

Reading the Librewolf wiki negates the argument that Librewolf is more convenient. I don’t understand why you would read the Librewolf wiki, but not Arkenfox wiki when most people won’t read either wiki.

[image] win11.shading291: With that logic, PG should only recommend products that are self-hostable. Maintenance of a NAS is really nothing much after the initial learning curve. I have a Synology NAS that I use for self-hosting. Troubleshooting is the biggest headache. Also, PG recommends u…

I never needed the Librewolf wiki because I’ve never had trouble using the browser. I’ve read the Arkekfox wiki, but still wasn’t able to install and use Arkenfox. To be fair, I haven’t read it in a while, so maybe they’ve updated it by now with easier to understand instructions (I don’t know). I m…
