Librewolf is just a usable Firefox

Clearly 🐺. Been on it like, 3y+? Maybe longer, it’s been my primary for a long time. 🦊 as a backup, and for DRM stuff. Chrome/Chromium for shit that just doesn’t play well with 🦎. Edge (for windows) is my ‘I need to test this with a vanilla browser’ and cba to disable ublock etc from chrome incognito.

Tor Browser serves a different purpose/use-case to the first two. The first two are intended for everyday browsing while I’ve never heard of anyone using Tor Browser as their daily browser—and if you log into websites then using Tor Browser as your daily driver would defeat the anonymity purposes if you’re logging in anyway.

I use librewolf for everyday browsing and Tor Browser for things requiring a higher threat model.

Librewolf. I yearn for something better for ios. I’m sticking woth firefox because all my tabs & shit are synced.

hirage ,

Well, I use them all. It depends on the services I access and the threats that affect them (and therefore me). Firefox for studying and sites that use WebGL; Librewolf for everyday browsing. Oh yeah, and there’s Tor.

serpineslair ,

I have modified Firefox. Might as well be Librewolf.

I was the same which was why I just switched to librewolf. Cut the work out for me.

What is it when one fires up 30 selenium instances using the Firefox webdriver, all loading random sites and clicking links, then route all personal traffic through tor?

Librewolf is better than Tor in some ways. Tor has ads

Churbleyimyam ,

I rarely have a reason to use Tor and the ads always shock me when I do. I find it weird that most people are experiencing the internet with oldschool ads in their normal day-to-day browsing.

prunerye ,

Honestly, there are probably enough people using ublock with tor browser that you can still retain most of the benefits if you do the same. You’ll just be in a smaller cohort than if you didn’t.

Firefox with Tor for specific stuff

mrvictory1 ,

Librewolf enables fingerprinting preventation which makes some websites / fields very laggy. I can disable it but what’s the point of using Librewolf then? Also using FF is not paranoid, it is the only free software I installed that sticked with my family. Tor has a wholly different purpose.

Also using FF is not paranoid

Yes that’s what the meme is saying.

Firefox. Librewolf’s defaults make it very inconvenient to use as a normal, day to day web browser. You can obviously change all of that but at that point you might as well just use Firefox with a handful of add-ons so that’s what I’m doing.

Quill7513 ,

I just changed my browsing habits. Frankly I’ve also realized having the internet be less convenient has made me more mentally healthy

ahornsirup ,

My issue isn’t that it’s breaking sites. It’s the fingerprint resistance making the basic user experience unpleasant. Refusing to remember window size, forcing light mode, etc. I understand why, but those aren’t sacrifices I’m willing to make.

shotgun_crab ,

You can disable those and get CanvasBlocker to still have some degree of protection (not as much, though)

The only librewolf default I find inconvenient is no persistent cookies. I just disable deleting cookies when I close the browser and the other defaults ive not touched. Other than some Firefox defaults I don’t like the behaviour of, but none of the librewolf-specific defaults.

Librewolf, but I’d argue it’s more of a Firefox/web debloater reason. No pocket, no VPN ads. I would have said that the only issue is that it is a pain to update, but they added a windows updater and software repos, so I would almost recommend it over stock firefox for normies.

And I use tor to search stuff that contains sensitive data like my location… Or when a website is blocked

30p87 ,

And as a more advanced user, I need nightly (for custom compiled addons), and just configured everything relevant to be as close to LibreWolf as possible/good for privacy.

the linux package manager in question

Cethin ,

This is the argument I keep using for why people should use Linux more. The fact you have to run updater software for each piece of software is so stupid. It’s a horrible solution to a poorly designed problem. On Linux I just tell my package manager to update everything and it takes care of it all. There’s no need for the user to be handling all of that, and it also shouldn’t have to update in starting the application because that’s when the user wants to use it, not wait for an update.

(For reference: it’s the same thing as on your phone where it tells you the number of things that need updated and you just tell it to update whenever you feel like it.)

Chocolatey ftw. I was already eyeing it when I jumped to LW so I did the setup for choc and now I have most of my software being managed through it. It’s not perfect but on a schedule, it’s as set-and-forget as it can be for Windows.

I guess with the exception of using the MS Store, but ew.
