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: I don‘t think this particular argument is valid since LibreWolf encourages strongly against installing more AddOns . Just because they don’t recommend installing more add-ons doesn’t mean that users will listen, and does not justify not having these protections. What…

Obviously, the following isn’t that relevant anymore as the more or less only argument, the bad security, is now fixed. But, to end the discussion… [image] any1: [image] SYST3M_D3STR0YER: Well then, can you just name a few concrete fingerprinting-relevant values which distinguish a user wi…

Well this reply is the nails in the coffin as we say. :face_with_tongue: AMAZING job @SYST3M_D3STR0YER Also, just to add to this [image] SYST3M_D3STR0YER: Some are skeptical due to personal experience that LibreWolf breaks sites. I have yet to encounter any website breakages 6 months in.

[image] SYST3M_D3STR0YER: JXL ConLW: LibreWolf enables JXL by default which is another C++ decoder with „who knows who‘s responsible for it“ state and therefore a security risk. ProLW: 1. JXL is also available in FireFox. 2. FireFox is recommended which requires changing far more preferences th…

I’ll just leave this here: #1779 - Feature Request: Radio Silence by Default for Browser Startup and Background Connections aka "Disable Phone Home" - librewolf/issues - Codeberg.org Every time the user opens up their librewolf browser it phones home that :index_pointing_at_the_viewer:, started usi…
