Used to use Brave, but it became more and more bloated as time went on. Also, I realized that I wasn't opposing Google as I wanted, but choosing an alternative of Google, as brave is still based on chromium. I enjoy Firefox very much now (don't know about the performance issues people talk about at all cause it seems better than all chrome, brave, opera, and opera GX I used in the past) although I'm looking into even further simplifying and privatizing that. Any suggestions for modified Firefox browsers that keep the functionality would be appreciated.
I use Librewolf, I've enjoyed it and it's very privacy-centric.
LW is awesome because its Firefox but security hardened out of the box. Instead of spending an hour or more doing it manually with default fox, you can just use LW. Huge fan. The step up from there would be mullvad browser , then tor imo
Tor is basically in it's own league, but not something made for daily driving. I'm sure there's people that do, but it's not exactly the best experience.
Hi! I’m interested. Does librewolf push updates fast relative to Firefox?
Normally same day or next day.
Thanks for the rec! I'll check it out
Firefox used to have performance issues, as of 6 months ago Firefox runs faster than Chrome.
