Been very happy with Librewolf. Thought it would be another one of those softwares recommended by linux-losers but which never actually works, but it's quite the opposite.
Is LibreWolf still a version or two behind on Gecko?
Word. Last I had looked, they lagged a version or two behind on the base FF version. Likely just a lack of contributors or something then. Ty.
How is Librewolf different from Mullvad browser, which is supposed to be Tor browser (hardened FF) without the Tor?
High threat*
Not trying to correct you at all, only for ppl's understanding :)
Btw ty for mentioning Mulvad Browser. I liked it honestly but it's still new, you feel me.
Good call
Waterfox is similar, though it doesn’t install additional extensions but comes with a bit of look and feel customization options instead. It restores those non-floating tabs from quantum by default and is pretty speedy.
Well yes, Wolf is a lot more focused on privacy, but it’s also a secondary goal for Waterfox. In 6.0 they enabled DNS over Oblivious HTTP (no idea what that means but you probably do) by default and incorporated yokkoffing’s Betterfox preconfig of user.js. It’s for those who are concerned about privacy but not nearly as much as the privacy community. For me, I’d rather have cookies.
