Librewolf
LibreWolf is a perfect recommendation for people in a privacy community like this one. I use it, and I love it. But…
Maybe I want the impossible, but ideally we could have two good browsers that respect user privacy instead of just one.
I prefer the new Midori, I think the best Gecko browser ever.
FYI, the new midori looks like a shameless clone of floorp. The only differences I can find are the default bookmarks and that floorp updates faster.
Maybem anywy I use it only for tests. I like to have browsers with different engines to test in a webpage issue if it is because Blink or is general for others too. Because of this I have also the Otter browser (the fastest browser of all I had tested, it has a own adblocker and good privacy, but there are no extensions for it)
I didn’t know about otter, I was just starting to look for more since I miss the days of uzbl and all its inspirations. As far as I can tell, qute is the only one that survived
Otter is a nice and blazing fast browser (by far way more than any other), but even it blocks some ads, there sadly isn’t any extensions store for it. Well, you can ad funcionalities with scripts.
No thanks.
The privacy is the same as in FF, but it has some more features. The problem of all Gecko forks is Mozilla, since it is sponsored mainly by Google, even sending data to Alphabet.Inc. That means that FF and forks are only private, if you use other sync provider than Mozilla.
