are you retarded or wat. The picture posted from that schizos website literally says it can be turned off.
Librewolf (and firefox) are fucking dogshit compared to chromium. I run brave on flatpak and it plays 4k videos fine, but librewolf on appimage stutters.
I thought it was a me issue, but every benchmark ever shows that firefox is inferior to chromium performance wise.

Maybe people will start using your shit browser once you actually fix it.
I'm not switching to a browser that can barely play 4k videos on ym computer while brave can do it just fine, and while running as a flatpak.

The answer to this question (from the article itself) is that google pays firefox to be the default front page / search.
