What if we got to easily choose our web browser, and didn’t have to rely on complex operating system settings to change the pre-installed default?

Do you keep the default browser on your Linux distro, or do you change it? If yes, why?

I changed mine. I love that librewolf is a thing but I wanted some of the convenience that Firefox has over it

As someone who considered switching to LibreWolf, what are some examples of conveniences found on Firefox that are not available on LibreWolf? I'm mainly sticking to Firefox since I want to sync my bookmarks between devices.

Librewolf is able to do that by turning sync on in the librewolf settings.

Oh thank, you maybe I'll finally use it for a while.

Firefox is my password manager. Also syncing bookmarks and passwords between devices.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
