    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.

    Librewolf for normal stuff, Tor for stuff I don't even want linked to my IP.

    [–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Jokes on you, cause a lot of alphabet organizations set up entry and exit nodes on Tor so you're being tracked regardless.

    [–] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Most of my Tor activity is on onionsites, so that's okay.

    Also, even given spooky nodes, the chances of getting a spooky entry and exit node are slim. Still, given the possibility, it is advisable to do spicy clearnet activities away from home with a MAC randomizer as insurance in case you win the world's worst roulette game.

    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?

    Raw HTTP using openssl s_client -connect hostname:443

    I have modified Firefox. Might as well be Librewolf.

    [–] communism@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

    I was the same which was why I just switched to librewolf. Cut the work out for me.

    Clearly 🐺. Been on it like, 3y+? Maybe longer, it's been my primary for a long time. 🦊 as a backup, and for DRM stuff. Chrome/Chromium for shit that just doesn't play well with 🦎. Edge (for windows) is my 'I need to test this with a vanilla browser' and cba to disable ublock etc from chrome incognito.

    Iceraven, with backup Vanadium, on mobile.

    [–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    For mobile, I'd recommend Mull instead of Iceraven

    Pros:

    • Just like Iceraven, a fork of Fenix
    • incorporates the arkenfox user.js
    • Doesn't have "No warranties or guarantees of security or updates or even stability!" in its project description

    Cons:

    • APKs are only on FDroid
    • awful name, no animal reference
    • awful logo color scheme imo - magenta on turquoise is... an interesting choice

    Here's a probably somewhat biased but from quickly skimming over it not inaccurate browser comparison by the developer(s) of Mull:

    [–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    I've tried Mull and went back, but I can't remember why. Iceraven is 'fine' but seems a touch buggy for some builds. I used to use Fennec for a long time, but I think IR allows installing 'unofficial' add-ons that haven't been vetted or whatever by Mozilla for mobile. But I'll have a look see, maybe my issue with Mull has been resolved.

    Well, I use them all. It depends on the services I access and the threats that affect them (and therefore me). Firefox for studying and sites that use WebGL; Librewolf for everyday browsing. Oh yeah, and there's Tor.

    [–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    I use Librewolf and TBB. Both have NoScript enabled and JS turned off by default. I never turn on JS on TBB obviously, and for the few sites that I frequent on Librewolf, I tweaked it by hand. It's not that hard.

    I will look to also use Mullvad browser alongside Librewolf maybe, not sure which one of them is more private since Mullvad browser comes straight from the TOR project and has their security settings.
