    Using it for years. It is amazing. I do have a tech background so I know what I need to change for my needs but I wished more people use it. I mean it is also not that hard, either.

    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.

      You can use Firefox Sync in Librewolf too, it’s just a bit buried in the settings.

      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.

    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.

      hey, there’s a setting in librewolf where you can enable/disable webgl! you don’t even have to do it via about:config

      Yeah, that’s a no-go for me since the app I work on uses WebGL.

        FYI it’s a toggle in about:preferences (a.k.a. Settings).

      It does! It’s disabled by default though, but it can be toggled in the settings
