    @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org I'm hooked on the Wolf, been using it for over a year. Once in a while I use furryfox for some fussy-ass site that I have to do one thing on once in a blueish moon.

    Is it worth running LibreWolf without fingerprinting disabled? It’s kind of a dealbreaker that it doesn’t save zoom options on websites. At least I could handle having to run another browser to use Netflix…

    From the blog post… You won’t be pampered with a one-click installation for all. Instead, you’ll need to take the time to review the documentation and set up the security and privacy features that you’re willing to trade off for comfort and convenience. Yeah, ouch, thats not going to sell with the Plebs, and limit buy-in from them, and market share. They really should try to fix that, and not just hand wave it away as a problem. Market share is the lifeblood of the browser wars. ~This~ ~comment~ ~is~ ~licensed~ ~under~ ~CC~ ~BY-NC-SA~ ~4.0~

    @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org For those coming here in search of Firefox alternatives, I just want to point out https://zen-browser.app/ that is also a fork of Firefox though perhaps a more customised fork... Check it out if you are in the mood for trying a different layout from the default Firefox experience...

    @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org I've gone through this process myself today. I have some comments not found in your blog post: Symlinking ~/.mozilla/firefox to ~/.librewolf works. Synchronisation is turned off by default. Turning it on makes it work, but it also erases all the cookies. Okay, no biggie. No dark mode by default, you have to set this manually. Unless you disable Resist Fingerprinting, which I kinda want to keep. The built in password manager is disabled by default.

    @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org The artwork and the alt text describing it are both poignant and touching. I'm about to migrate from Firefox (which I've been using since it was Netscape 3.04) to Librewolf as well. It's nice to feel welcomed.

  • @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Note that if you are concerning about security, you may want to enable Google Safe Browsing as well (I know this is from Google, but implementation from Mozilla is making sense and even Librewolf devs are considering enabling it if it wasn't for user self-compiling issues). I'm a CS student myself but I don't think I'm that savvy for checking every site I go though.
