I’ve been using Librewolf for some months now. You can migrate your Firefox profile into Librewolf, that’s what I did and it retained my passwords. I’m not very tech savvy but it does have some kinks, my browser clock is off I’ve tried tinkering with it but gave up. And especially with the Resist Fingerprinting enabled it seems to not retain my 2 factor id for sites when I ask it to remember me.
Comment on Just the Browser: tools to remove AI and other bloatware from Chrome, Edge and Firefox
FenderStratocaster@piefed.social 17 hours agoI know I’ll get flak for this, but I am sticking with FireFox, because it saves my passwords.

Your browser clock is not off. LibreWolf, Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser etc. set your browser’s reported timezone to GMT to not reveal which timezone you’re actually in.
And I don’t understand what you’re talking about in the last sentence.

I’m going to save your comment and install it on my Linux machine when I get home.

it’s got settings
Well yeah, Librewolf is basically nothing but settings.
Firefox settings.
Confuses me no end when people rage against Mozilla and then recommend a product that cannot exist without Mozilla.

Whats confusing about it? People took something that was going bad and made it good again. Thats the benefit of open source. Even if Mozilla goes closed source the already existing forks can continue

You can switch to WaterFox and it seamlessly uses the FireFox sync to use all your passwords. Very easy drop in replacement.

I’d recommend switching to something like Bitwarden for your passwords so you can take them with you and also switch your stuff around if you ever want to
FenderStratocaster@piefed.social 17 hours ago
You CAN export them. I migrated to Ff from Chrome a while back.
KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 hours ago
You can, and they sync with your Mozilla account. I had your reasoning when using Microslop Edge and Microslop Authenticator. I set up Bitwarden now and while it’s not perfect, I do prefer to have full control of my passwords.

I’m going to start my own password software and call it PassWizard. I think that’s a good name.
