Better it is...
#Librewolf is one of many alternatives...
Hmm, #Proton suddenly stopped working in #LibreWolf. Decryption error.
"Proton account requires a modern browser", define: modern.
My LibreWolf is up to date.
@jwildeboer totally agree. I would add "and please don't choose substack for that blog post". Why? Because I can't save the article using the web browser's "Save Page As..." feature (#Librewolf).
Substack thwarts this saving, being jerks.

Zeitreise mit LibreWolf?
Über Einstellungen ist hinterlegt, dass der Browser die Systemuhrzeit verwenden soll. Trotzdem hinkt er 2 Stunden hinterher. Beim Fernsehprogramm kann ich das tolerieren, dass der Tatort bereits 18:15 Uhr anfängt, aber bei der Buchung des carsharing Autos wird's verwirrend.
Anbei meine Einstellungen. Kann bitte jemand mal drüberschauen, ob euch was auffällt?
Danke!

We've updated the default browsing data sanitizing config to a newer version of the settings. This _should_ not affect the actual settings at all (and did not during our tests), but we advise you check your "clear/remember history" related settings after updating anyway, just in case.
See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/140.0.2/releasenotes/ for upstream changes.
CANNOT BELIEVE I have not been doing this for the past thirty years.
#Librewolf (or, you know, #Firefox, I guess) lets you add "keywords" to bookmarks. Type the keyword, hit return, go to URI directly.

Odd/annoying problem logging on to @mstdn @stux using @librewolf #Librewolf (a #Firefox fork) - it won't accept my username and password. I can't remember if it ever worked, but definitely not this week.
I just tried disabling any relevant extensions and even ResistFingerPrinting in case they were interfering, but nothing helped.
It's fine in Chromium-based browsers - e.g. Edge and Vivaldi, where I had either logged off or had never logged on before.
I have a dilemma with browsers:
I really like Zen Browser but it has a ram issue on my computer which causes frequent crashes. I switched to LibreWolf and it's having the same issues. I'm on fedora.
Default Firefox does not have these issues, I'm thinking that's because it's a native rpm package and not a flatpak. There doesn't seem to be an rpm version of Zen or LibreWolf. I could switch to default firefox but it's got mozilla telemetry and extra features I don't want to see. I want a private browser, as of recently this probably isn't a great choice.
Is there any other version of firefox that isn't changed much? Or should I just use normal firefox?

Hab auf #Librewolf gewechselt... gewohnte Firefox-Erfahrung, aber Datenschutz-technisch schon optimiert.
Firefox is dead to me • The Register
No notes. All good points. I'm still not going to a Chrome based browser. Not yet.
I hear Opera is nice if that day ever comes.
Main points:
As is pointed out in the article, most of the crap comes directly from Mozilla and management, not the people doing development.
It could be righted with a massive leadership change that isn't going to happen.
I've switched to IronFox on my phone and LibreWolf on my laptops. I'll keep doing that as long as it's feasible.
I have to use Edge and Firefox at work because they are "approved" (along with Chrome) and centrally managed.
Edit: fixed a typo.
re: Trying to find a new web browser to use: Librewolf 126.0-1
»Firefox experimentiert mit neuer Suchmaschine:
Mit der neuen KI-Funktion möchte Mozilla seinen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern ermöglichen, dialogorientierte Antworten auf Fragen zu erhalten.«
Nutzt dies wer von euch schon und wie ist es zum nutzen? Wird dies evt auch von @librewolf übernomen und sind KI Suchmaschinen wirklich besser als bisherige? Ich bin skeptisch hatte dies aber noch nie genutzt.
#LibreWolf v139.0.4-1 is now available!

No major changes from LibreWolf's end.

Librewolf (and implicitly also Firefox) question; please Boost <3
I've been using Tridactyl[1] for a long time now for keyboard-driven vi bindings in the browser and yesterday decided to check out the alternatives, thinking maybe they provided some interesting features too.
I looked them al up: Vimium, Vimium C, Vimmatic, SurfingKeys and the result is: I am in awe of how advanced Tridactyl is in comparison to all of them.
Native messaging, comprehensive ex command mode for commands and settings with live-previewed completions; hint-based visual selection, copying and focus; support for local filesystem text-based configuration; binding sequential browser actions to custom commands; tab group commands; actually launching (neo)vim to edit text areas; ...to name a few!
Firefox und Librewolf (Linux Mint) haben mich schon einige Zeit damit genervt, beim Restart nicht mit der letzten Fenstergröße zu starten. Maximierung ist zwar nur ein Klick, fand ich aber trotzdem doof und hab immer mal wieder nach Lösungen gesucht, aber keine funktionierende gefunden. Gerade eben bin ich auf
https://www.ghacks.net/2019/04/24/firefox-not-remembering-the-last-window-size-this-may-fix-it/
über denAnsatz "privacy.resistFingerprinting" auf false zu setzen gestolpert und das funktioniert endlich.
Wie schwer wiegen die Auswirkungen in Bezug auf das Fingerprinting bzw Privacy tatsächlich?
One of the things I ran into was #Librewolf (#firefox clone) not connecting to #keepassxc
I found a solution:
