    I just switched to Waterfox. Other than having to setup desktop links manually, it’s basically seamless from Firefox.

    How would this differ?

      • Both browsers are more private OOTB than Firefox.
      • LibreWolf has more privacy- and security-oriented defaults than Waterfox, like a halfway point between Firefox and Tor Browser:
        • It enables Resist Fingerprinting by default
        • It discards browsing history by default
      • It has a new Settings menu that makes it relatively easy to control these features that tend to break websites.
      • It lacks some of the customization features Waterfox pioneered.

      Librewolf runs better on windows from experience.

      Also my professors’ lecture recordings on the bullshit microsoft cloud storage doesn’t open on waterfox but does open on librewolf.

      I still like waterfox more tho. It feels lighter and runs on android.

        I feel torn regarding the lectures. Bs lectures sound bad, but being forced to use microslop seems somehow worse.

        I have a few pcs and laptops on the go atm, so I plan to swap one to Librewolf and see hope it goes vs. Waterfox.

        Unless I notice or am impressed by something noteworthy, I’ll probably just stick with Waterfox on the others for now.
