Base Firefox is actually dogshit, it's wild how much they've ruined it. LibreWolf and similar forks are the way to go.
Not sure if similar desktop forks for Chromium exist, but at least there's the "ungoogled" package.
Either way, just wish I could find a selfhosted browser sync tool that doesn't rely on a google account or w/e. LibreWolf is great for my PCs but IronFox feels far too restrictive for mobile while Fennec doesn't feel like enough. Vanadium is fine but that's a Chromium fork.
I do like the way base FF does vertical tabs, though. The only reason I still main that browser for longer web surfing sessions.
If I know exactly where I'm going I use LW, though.
BTW do people really keep the default functionality of LW to clear all login cookies? I know it's more secure, but kind of a pain to have to sign in to rainwave.cc or whatever every new session.
Librewolf also has native vertical tabs :) Not sure if it's the same implementation as FF, but I believe it is.
Regarding cookies, I've manually added exclusions for frequent, trusted websites, and left the default clearing on.
Wow it totally is the same implementation. This rules. OK well there goes my last reason to stick with FF.
I don't personally - mine wipes history and a few other bits on close but that's all. I've made a few other overrides for convenience like dark mode and such too. I get this kind of kills the point but there are some things I'm not willing to let go of
I see, I've got mine setup similarly now, and yeah this is more appropriate to my usual workflow / security needs.
I like librawolf on Linux, but a lot of pages break
Is palemoon still around, striped down, and good?
