Librewolf Waterfox Ungoogled-chromium

[–] aberrate_junior_beatnik@midwest.social 0 points 3 days ago (3 children)

From the site:

Why not just use an alternative web browser?

You can do that! However, switching to alternative web browsers like Vivaldi, SeaMonkey, Waterfox, or LibreWolf can have other downsides. They are not always available on the same platforms, and they can lag behind mainstream browsers in security updates and engine upgrades. Just the Browser aims to make mainstream web browsers more tolerable, while still retaining their existing benefits.

I don't recall the specifics, but I tried out Librewolf and it had issues that were dealbreakers (I'll try it again another time). I don't really trust Waterfox to keep up-to-date (although maybe that's unfair). I don't want a chromium based browser because I want to support engine diversity on the web.

Waterfox has been pretty good with keeping up with updates as a fork, not sure what you're smokin' there.

Librewolf has aggressive anti-fingerprinting techniques that break stuff, but they mention that up front. You can disable those components tho if needed.

My issue with Librewolf is it forces the time zone to utc and that's not changeable. It's by design and I get the reason but it's very annoying. I still use it anyhow.
