I’ve recently downloaded Librewolf and I am planning to transfer my data from Brave to it. I am a privacy aware user but I haven’t had much experience in using Firefox directly. I have Firefox installed but I have some other old things stored in it (accounts, cache, bookmarks etc.) that I do not want to disturb, nor do I want to use as my default browser. I thought Librewolf would offer a more private and better version of Firefox with a clean slate.
Are there some things to keep in mind while transferring my workflow from a Chromium based browser to a Firefox one? Are there some things to keep in mind specifically for Librewolf? Would I need to change my browsing habits?
Some points about my browser workflow to help you better judge what I may need :
Sorry if I may be asking obvious questions or doing things blatantly wrong as a privacy respecting user.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

I’d recommend using SimpleLogin or Addy (formerly AnonAddy).
So, a lot of websites filter out known trash mail domains and won’t allow any of their email addresses for sign up. I don’t see that Simplelogin or Addy can circumvent that (beside using a custom domain which however will be linked to your name via the registrar).
How do you manage websites with such restrictions?
I usually just create a burner Proton Mail account in that case, and keep note of its details and purpose in my Password Manager so I don’t forget.
That’s something I’m doing too. I wish there was a nicer way though.
Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, I wish there was an easier way too 😔
On simplelogin premium you can get your own subdomain from them. For example, you can have the subdomain @computer.simplelogin.com. In my experience these might work even when the domain is blocked for sign up
Ah, nice, will try that out. I guess the success rate depends on the way the sites filte email addresses.
Thanks for the reply!
Woah, email aliases is the perfect solution for this! Thank you very much!
