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

Thank you for the comment.

It seems difficult to get extensions onto IceCat it seems. I guess I'd have to update them myself as well.

I use Distraction Free YouTube because I run into errors when using FreeTube. I use Distraction Free YouTube to see the description. I use MPV to view the video.

All of the extensions on the Firefox Addon website seem to install fine in IceCat. The extensions will be updated automatically. I recommend after installing IceCat disable all of the extensions that come with it built in or websites won't load as expected.

Yes. That was the first things I learned very quickly.
