Comment on YouTube is getting serious about blocking ad blockers

  I think we should stop sending people to alternative “Firefox based” browser that will likely break compatibility even more than it is broken on Firefox. It will only frustrate the user and send him back to random chromium based alternative like brave. Firefox default privacy settings are more than enough for the regular user.

    I didn’t say it’s good for most people, I just prefer it and think other privacy oriented people should as well

      I am sure that most, if not all people who care about privacy already use Firefox. We need to help regular users to hope into Firefox. These people tend to know almost nothing about computers and a site that doesn’t work is Firefox not working.

        Yeah but Firefox uses non private defaults like Google as the default search engine

  I’ve seen LibreWolf mentioned a few times. What’s the difference between the two?

    LibreWolf is just hardened Firefox

  My rule: if it’s not in my distro’s apt repository, it’s too niche to use. If you want folks to use Librewolf, package it.

    There’s a Flatpak

      ಠ_ಠ

      It’s not about whether it’s possible to install via a single command; it’s about signaling whether its popular enough for the distro to justify maintaining a proper first-party package for it.

        That’s an arbitrary way to decide if a package is worth installing

        I’m pretty sure modern programs by modern people are primarily released as Flatpak while every other traditional package manager comes second, if at all.

  There’s also Palemoon (Firefox cringe)

    Yeah but LibreWolf is hardened and far more private and secure
