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] 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 .

[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…

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…

Since nobody seemed to be working on porting the failing patches to release 145, I went ahead and did it . I have no idea if it’s working correctly since I don’t use LibreWolf, but they should just ship it and not wait even longer.

[image] any1: Since nobody seemed to be working on porting the failing patches to release 145, I went ahead and did it . Thank you for putting the work in. That’s really too bad, I was under the impression that they’ve been pretty good about putting in timely updates. Maybe it’s time to give T…
