      Isn’t that a fork of Firefox that still relies on Firefox development? Would it continue to exist if Mozilla shutdown and Firefox was no longer maintained?

        LibreWolf strips Firefox of telemetry, adds privacy and security tweaks, disables Pocket, and ships with uBlock Origin by default. It’s basically Firefox with hardened defaults and no Mozilla connections.

        If Firefox ever collapsed, libreWolf couldn’t continue independently long-term, they rely entirely on Firefox’s upstream codebase. They don’t maintain their own engine (Gecko), so they’d lose the foundation their browser is built on. It’d be the end unless a fork of Gecko emerged.

        Yes. And it seems like a lot of people who shill for it don’t understand that. If every Firefox user switched to LibreWolf then there would be no more Firefox and then no more LibreWolf. Firefox has done some questionable things lately but all of us jumping ship to something like LibreWolf isn’t the answer.

        Nope.

      This is a very stupid comment. Librewolf literally takes Firefox and hardens it. If there is no Firefox, there is no Librewolf.

          Huh? You’re literally recommending a fork of Firefox that won’t exist without Firefox. How can i be any more clear? Your comment is absolutely ridiculously stupid.

            You’re putting forth an utterly moronic reply, yet again. No surprise. I don’t care if the fork dies, or Firefox. In the moment though, using it benefits neither Google or Mozilla.

            Just try to read it again slower, put your fingers over the words.

              surely. until sites start breaking hard and severe security vulnerabilities get found. without maintenance it won’t be all that useful

              Ah i get it. You’re a fucking clown who comments in bad faith and doesn’t listen to feedback. Typical.

                “What a stupid reply”. There’s some feedback for you. Remember the fingers next time you need to comprehend something.

                Have you considered that maybe you could have worded your comment in a different way without just saying it was “stupid”? You are correct about Librewolf but there was no need to reply it that way
