give me one valid reason to not use it. politics isn’t a valid reason, it doesn’t affect my browsing experience.

It's just a few git cherry picks while Mozilla does all the hard work of the actual rendering engine.

1. it's based on Firefox

if you're not going to self-harden with arkenfox.js at least use a goanna alternative.

It's just arkenfox with uBO preinstalled but with slower updates.
If you're too lazy to apply an arkenfox config and configure it to your liking (I am) then ig librewolf is fine

i constantly reinstall my os (arch) due to OCD, so librewolf is perfect for me.

That's why I'm using Firefox.

It's ran by tranny faggots, and they will eventually poison the well or be psyopped into destroying their product.

I can't give you any reason to not use it, it's a top tier browser and I regret nothing in my first year of using it
>>
>>108636318

Then use Brave.

1. it is slow and 2. it is ""maintained"" by like 6 retards. you shouldnt use it over firefox; its just a bunch of crap github scripts and other shit decisions that can break or not sites.
>>
>>108636274
Librewolf takes all the good parts of Firefox and doesn't include all the shit that Mozilla smears onto it. That's why it's a good browser.

>(arch)
Why did you feel the need to shoehorn in which distro you use? This is an anonymous imageboard. You don't get Reddit gold here for knowing how to use the terminal.

Knowing how to install and use Arch isn't even impressive unless you're a normie Windows or Mac user. Come back when you've learned Gentoo and then I might give a shit.

It's an user.js with settings to harden and "debloat" firefox.
Some people believe it'll stop firefox for calling home, they're like a cult. In reality "it works" but they don't always catch all the changes before they go live. So after updating Firefox, you can sometimes see it making unsolicited requests.
For a privacy‑oriented browser, this is easier to prevent because they control when to release a new version.
But Mozilla will not take into account whether a third‑party user.js has already been updated for their next version, they’ll just launch the update and welcome any new telemetry that comes their way.
It's still better than nothing and can be used as a solid base to build on top, but catching all the name changes and new stuff mozilla adds is a chore.

>>108636607
I use firefox, only because it has the word "fox" in the name. I like little creatures and such.

you're already glowing if you use firefox, this accentuate it.

why would you use it when you can achieve everything that it does by just configuring firefox manually once and saving your user.js.

you are basically trust me broing them to not have their gitlab hacked and then to push you a malicious update. there are a bazillion firefox forks. i would not use a firefox fork it is silly, the only one worth actually using is palemoon, and that is because it adds something (the retro design, etc) that you cannot gain in current firefox. of course palemoon comes with its own sets of risks and moonchild is a bit insane

I use librewolf on swaywm and don't care about developers politics and use what works and suits my needs.

Firefox has an ugly logo.

But it has a cute mascot.

You can just manually change the icon

Waterfox is better.

enjoy more than deplatforming :)

>>108636271
It's just a script that changes some of the defaults of Firefox and takes longer to push out security patches leaving you more vulnerable in the interim.

There is literally nothing it does that you cannot also do in Firefox.
>Politics aside, there is no technical justification for using it except for the fact you like its logo better
>>
>>108636271
It's great at breaking even more websites than Firefox.
>>
>>108639977
faggot mascot, not cute

>>108636271
I don't like the icon, and prefer to get the browser from the official source and change it myself.
