Comment on Just the Browser: tools to remove AI and other bloatware from Chrome, Edge and Firefox

  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

    You CAN export them. I migrated to Ff from Chrome a while back.

      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.

  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.

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

      Was about to say exactly this same thing…

      LibreWolf here I come…

    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.

      Sounds like a cookie isn’t being saved, so they have to enter their 2fa every time instead of having the site trust the browser

      • 123@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Librewolf by default clears cookies on close, which is kind of annoying for anything with a 2fa login. It can be changed on the settings, but you have to know that’s an option and the root of the behavior, which most regular people won’t.

    your clock is off because you have resistfingerprinting turned on, so it puts you into utc+0 to prevent tracking.

    and you have to explicitly allow to save cookies for specific domains to not get logged out (check out the padlock icon in the status bar, there’s an option to keep data for the domain you’re on)

    The clock is part of their fingerprinting resistance strategy. It doesn’t provide correct timezone info to sites.

  So can librewolf

  You can still use firefox sync as well

  source

  • TheOctonaut@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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

        Even if Mozilla goes closed source the already existing forks can continue

        Theoretically yes, practically no. Maintaining a secure modern web engine that’s up to date with - and a part of - setting web standards is something that costs tens of millions per year. Sometimes this even spills into the hundreds of millions.

        Random fork projects don’t have the resources to do that.

      A software has roughly three parts: core functionality, UI, default settings. Zen does the UI part and default settings different.

  Try waterfox maybe?

  source

  • FenderStratocaster@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Waterfox are you talkin’ about? Am I right?!?!?!?! lol

    • in_my_honest_opinion@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Waterfox? Fennec-about-it!

      source
• albbi@piefed.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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