OK then, trying LibreWolf (privacy based fork of Firefox).

First criteria: does it work?

- Got my important extensions installed and tested. Set up my pinned tabs. Logged into my important accounts. So far, so good.

I'll have to give it a few days to see if there are any pain points. I also need to learn more about exactly what it's doing for me beyond auto-installing uBlock Origin (I'm sure a lot more).

Currently building #LibreWolf on #Void #Linux, not only because I can, but because I don't care for Flatpak or AppImage and the only alternative for Void is to build it from source.

As of this screenshot I'm about nine minutes into what will probably be a 15-20 minute build on my Geekom A7. This is the hardest I've pushed this tiny workstation so far, averaging 13GB in use and all eight cores (16 threads) pegged to 100%.

I love open source!

#LibreWolf v136.0.1-1 is now available.

https://codeberg.org/librewolf/bsys6/releases/tag/136.0.1-1

No major changes from LibreWolf's end. See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/136.0.1/releasenotes/ for upstream changes.

FlatPak builds are, again, slightly behind, but should follow soon.

Just use another #browser. I know the majority of browsers are based on #Chrome, etc. Still, there are other options: #LibreWolf, #Mullvad Browser, #Tor Browser, #Ungoogled Chromium, and the likes…

So, I froze my #Firefox updates, some 8-9 months ago, back at the 128 release, just before the AI enshittification.

Now, I'm getting warnings that it'll stop working soon if I don't update.

I'm already 99% switched to #LibreWolf , and if my FF quits working, I'll just be uninstalling it.

It will be the first time I have not had Firefox on my machine(s) since they released version 0.5 back in 2002.

Replaced #Firefox with #LibreWolf wooo!
Thing is, I had several other privacy focused add-ons/extensions like #PrivacyBadger #PrivacyPossum, but when I checked the recommended extensions for LibreWolf, it says to only use uBlock origin and a password manager, it doesn't mention these other add-ons. So, if my suspicion is correct, they are not necessary because LibreWolf already does the same things as these extensions out of the box?
Would be great to have a more explicit explanation from @librewolf docs

Can anyone using #firefox in #Ubuntu confirm, if you need to click "I agree" to use firefox ? Does it show ToS before you start using firefox ?

Clicking or not clicking "I agree" makes a crucial difference in mozilla getting your permission to use your data. Unlike proprietary software or services, you can get #firefox from a different source without agreeing to this shit. Just the name may be different or they might have made it better for you.

Estou tentado usar o #LibreWolf. Estava com um problema com um site do trabalho. Resolvi e quero contar como.

O site carregava errado, de um jeito que não dava para usar. Depois de tentar mexer em cada botão e alavanca das configurações do LibreWolf, resolvi abrir o terminal de debug, com F12. Vi que havia 12 erros. Logo o primeiro deles era jquery que não carregava pois o site onde estava hospedada não era confiável. Como eu confio no site (é dos caras que gerem o site profissional que eu tentava usar), abri esse site do jquery diretamente e cliquei "sim, aceito os riscos". Depois disso o site que eu precisava abrir passou a funcionar. Deu para entender ou ficou muito confuso? Enfim, talvez ajude alguém.

Quick-and-easy installation instructions for #LibreWolf on #Debian, just #FYI:

doas apt update && doas apt install extrepo -y && doas extrepo enable librewolf && doas apt update && doas apt install librewolf -y

Okay, ok, I guess we're not ALL doas enjoyers. XD

For my sudo friends:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install extrepo -y && sudo extrepo enable librewolf && sudo apt update && sudo apt install librewolf -y

Recommend for an android web browser to replace Firefox?

I've heard of:

#vivaldi #libreWolf #waterfox #zen #opera

Not all of them have #Android clients which is a requirement for me.

What's the preferred privacy-focused non-ad #browser these days for phones?

I liked Firefox after I left chrome, and now Vivaldi seems acceptable so far.

I don't need sync, would like extensions, and I have to be able to use external password manager.

Let's the opinions fly! Thanks.

I am determined to leave the bonfire that is #Firefox behind. Their Terms of Use (currently) only relate to using the Firefox app directly.

But I do not wish to be beholden to Google by using chromium browsers either.

So I have #ZenBrowser, #Waterfox and #LibreWolf installed. I have functional issues with all three at the moment.

Most relate to how they save/restore my windows, tabs and containers.

But I have to find the solutions and keep one. Firefox changed their ethics.
