    While Librewolf does have its advantages, I find it hard to recommend over regular Firefox, at least for most people. Librewolf disables some features like WebGL due to security and privacy concerns.

    TBH this finally pushed me over the edge. It was surprisingly easy - just s/firefox/librewolf/ in my browser config file, and then privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage = false (I don’t want to log in to all my work accounts every time I restart the browser). I didn’t even notice the switch TBH.

    I switched to Libre as well a month or so ago. The only thing I miss from Firefox is eing able share passwords/tabs/etc between mobile and desktop, but it’s not enough to make me switch back.

      if you decouple your syncing tools from your browser, you’ll be a lot less likely to be locked into a browser you don’t like in the future.

        Just to add for information’s sake, it works the other way around too. As in, you can use Fennec instead of Firefox Android and still sync with standard Firefox on desktop. Or Librewolf or whatever. I think most forks probably use the same sync functionality and servers as vanilla Firefox.

        That looks like a great tool, but only seems to support bookmark sync currently? Not quite a drop in replacement for Firefox sync yet.
