Librewolf, but I’d argue it’s more of a Firefox/web debloater reason. No pocket, no VPN ads. I would have said that the only issue is that it is a pain to update, but they added a windows updater and software repos, so I would almost recommend it over stock firefox for normies.
And I use tor to search stuff that contains sensitive data like my location… Or when a website is blocked

the linux package manager in question
I mean an updater on the windows (the os). Sadly forced to use windows at work, but at least I got my Librewolf.

Chocolatey ftw. I was already eyeing it when I jumped to LW so I did the setup for choc and now I have most of my software being managed through it. It’s not perfect but on a schedule, it’s as set-and-forget as it can be for Windows.
I guess with the exception of using the MS Store, but ew.
Was using scoop as I prefer it’s contained aspect. However, now I 'm on Linux, and my work blocked the repo’s so…
Ooh, I’ll take a look at that =)
VPN ads? Not sure I’ve ever gotten such a thing. Been using Firefox daily for several years
[Richard Stallman] usually does not browse the web directly from his personal computer. Instead, he uses GNU Womb’s grab-url-from-mail utility, an email-based proxy which downloads the webpage content and then emails it to the user.
If you’re not doing this you’re not properly paranoid.
Tor Browser serves a different purpose/use-case to the first two. The first two are intended for everyday browsing while I’ve never heard of anyone using Tor Browser as their daily browser—and if you log into websites then using Tor Browser as your daily driver would defeat the anonymity purposes if you’re logging in anyway.
I use librewolf for everyday browsing and Tor Browser for things requiring a higher threat model.
I migrated from firefox to librewolf AND Tor this week. Help.
I saw a post earlier this week where Firefox was adding an AI to the browser? That’d make me migrate to libre wolf or water fox.
yea their weird choices of late made me realize that the focus was shifted to money-making and not privacy. So I jumped the ship
Firefox was so close to taking all the users from Chrome
I exclusively browse with cURL and manually parse HTML myself the old fashioned way
Why parse the HTML manually when
sedis a standard utility and you can use it to parse it with regex?Ooh, it’s my turn to link this beauty.

Insert copypasta of angry nerd ranting about using regex to parse html.
Its a valid rant, ditto to email
schizofox “Hardened Firefox flake for the delusional and the schizophrenics.”
Tor Browser is this kid wearing many layers of different masks and hoodies, and changing them randomly whenever the mood strikes.
Librewolf enables fingerprinting preventation which makes some websites / fields very laggy. I can disable it but what’s the point of using Librewolf then? Also using FF is not paranoid, it is the only free software I installed that sticked with my family. Tor has a wholly different purpose.
Also using FF is not paranoid
Yes that’s what the meme is saying.
does using chrome make you naked or something?
unless it’s just equivalent to firefox, which i doubt.
Internet explorer makes you naked for sure.
Chrome maybe in swim trunks at a shopping mall. Everyone (advertisers etc) can see you and you’re weirdly exposed.
this one makes sense, i like this one.
And dont forget the the sunglasses either. Every chrome users wears a pair of sunglasses inside for sure.
I’d trust IE a lot more than I’d trust chrome.
Y’know it is discontinued and has a lot of dangerous settings but I just pulled a cve count and you may be on to something.
I use Microsoft Edge (parental controls and uBlock). That that made me whatever is beyond naked? Like one of those clear dummies in a health class that shows organs?
nah, i think probably just, transparent, like visually see-through.

Hardened Firefox paranoid
I would use LibreWolf IF it had cloud sync, since that’s a feature I actively use with regular Firefox.
edit: I tried LibreWolf and Waterfox. I copied over my Firefox profile to LibreWolf and Waterfox. LibreWolf works with all of my addons and even Firefox Sync and everything else, I had to disable “Enable ResistFingerprinting” to fix login on a couple sites and also had to prevent it from deleting cookies and site data when LibreWolf is closed but now it works perfectly for me, same as Firefox works perfectly for me. Waterfox has tons of issues with my addons like with uMatrix enabled it straight up just refuses to load any pages, also in general loading all pages is quite a bit slower, and one of my mail addons also has some weird corruption error message - Waterfox is unusable for me. I think LibreWolf is a great fit for me so I think I will most likely use that if I can be bothered, or maybe I will stick with Firefox, who knows, we’ll see I guess. Still though, LibreWolf seems great.
I have modified Firefox. Might as well be Librewolf.
I was the same which was why I just switched to librewolf. Cut the work out for me.
What is it when one fires up 30 selenium instances using the Firefox webdriver, all loading random sites and clicking links, then route all personal traffic through tor?
I am using Edge on both Android and Desktop
Yes, we know. 👀
We see you touching yourself like an animal.
