If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now (www.fastcompany.com)

With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

What about LibreWolf, a fork of FF. Suppose to be better for security. Love using it !! Ditched Brave a couple of days ago

I'd love it if it didn't disable DRM. Yes, DRM bad. Yes, I still need it.

Does Librewolf work well with extensions? I’m thinking about trying it out on my Mac.

I tried LibreWolf but it just doesn't work for me, it disables lots of stuff I use and like. At the moment I use Firefox with my custom User.js which disables Mozilla tracking and other stuff.

Doesn't play nice with Adguard for Windows, so it's not my main browser, but I do still use it.
