Trying to move away from FireFox.

I know that there is LibreWolf and GNU IceCat.

What are the pros and cons for each?

I tried GNU IceCat and I don't know how to install extensions. How to get extensions for GNU IceCat? Is it easier on LibreWolf?

I need the following extensions:

ublock origin
send to MPV player
privacy badger
Distraction free youtube
Unhook
LeechBlock NG
Privacy Badger
Tab Session Manager
KeePassXC-Browser

You can also sync in LibreWolf, if you enable it in the settings.

I need to run my own sync server.

You can do that too. LibreWolf is not taking away any of Firefox functionality unless there's a specific reason for it. Some of its defaults are stricter, but those can be changed. All the configuration is totally available to you.

I get that. It's just your comment made me realize I should self host my sync server.

Ah, good call. I probably should too. I'm not sure I will, but I should.

Hmm. I didn't see the option, but if true, that's great (if you use the option).
