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

Perhaps a dumb question but why do you consider this a bad thing?

Should I consider it a bad thing??

It's not a bad thing.

It's that I'd prefer if it was in the Debian repos. There's an advantage to having all your packages come from one tested and trusted source. There are of course downsides to this approach namely, this kind of situation where there's something new but not in the main repos.

They’re probably just trying to be minimalist

Yes. This is it. I want, as much as possible, to use packages from the main Debian repos.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

That really depends on the quality of the repo.
