    Long time Firefox user. Installed Librewolf today and so far so good. I used Firefox sync to get all my settings, bookmarks, open tabs, etc. back.
    At some point I will probably find an alternative yo Firefox sync but it'll do for the time being.

    The only thing that sucks about it is some sites just flat out don't work well. For example, in Librewolf I cannot login to my banks website. The site loads, but the login just hangs. Firefox it works immediately.

        I use Firefox as my main browser. I use the multi-account containers extension in Firefox to seperate my browsing activities. Brave is installed as a backup in case firefox fails me. I use TOR browser for searching for stuff that I don't want linked to me.

          I use Librewolf, I manage passwords with pass and rofi.
          Hoppefuly AIs will write a new FOSS web browser. I read here and here that the web standards are too big to be implemented by humans.

            Ungoogled chromium, sadly FF has been getting worse over the years (partially because it is getting worse and partially because web developers happen to ignore it's existence) also Chromium has superior security.

            I'm hopeful about the future of ladybird but it will take a long time until it is a possible daily driver.

              I like librewolf but for me video is so incredibly slow. Is anyone else having this issue?

              Have you tried enabling webgl, which by default is disable on Librewolf? You can do that by overwriting the corresponding setting, as it can be done for any Librewolf setting, in particular the webgl override needed is:

              defaultPref("webgl.disabled", false);
              

              If you do, Librewolf recommend using the extension "CanvasBlocker" given the fingerprinting allowed by webgl. There's a settings doc BTW..

                I use several, depending on use case:

                • Tor Browser for general and anonymous web browsing (e.g. reading news, looking up stuff, and so on)
                • Mullvad Browser as a clear web alternative for general use
                • Librewolf for generally logging into sites with personally identifiable accounts (e.g. to buy stuff)
                • Ungoogled Chromium for those few sites which only work with a Chromium-based browser, or other specific cases
                • On Android: Tor Browser and Vanadium

                  I was thinking of switching to one of the Firefox forks but have only tried Waterfox so far and not super impressed. I guess Firefox is the best out of the bad bunch until I find an alternative I like.

                        I like zen a lot but I’m struggling to drag a tab from one window to another. The sidebar always collapses on the target window before the tab gets there. Any tips?

                          The Gnome browser (epiphany?) is actually quite good. But when I'm on windows I use Zen. On GrapheneOS I use IronFox.

                          I also recently tested Ladybird. It's still not usable for daily use, but I'm excited for it.

                            Firefox, while I dislike their new FAQ and TOS I build it from source and the TOS does not apply.

                            I wish they would make Firefox Sync a self hostable product that they also host for you for like 5 bucks a month. I would pay for it (or any other way to directly give money to FX instead of Mozilla) like I do for Bitwarden.

                                Librewolf is pretty much standard hardened Firefox. So you should feel right at home with that one

                                  Firefox on Desktop.
                                  Chrome or Vanadium on Mobile.

                                        Yes, but I actually would pay them for their services if they guarantee me that they will use that money to improve Firefox and Firefox services. I want to be a premium user of Firefox, but instead of trying to monetize their core userbase they annihilate them.

                                        I actually like their advertising business idea and their other services and I understand that they need money but is whay they are doing right now really the best way?
