Yesterday I accidentally wiped my Firefox profile. Upon creating a new one I was hit with the realisation of just how many shit defaults Firefox has. This made me consider using a fork which un-enshittifies Firefox.
There is only one that I know of, LibreWolf. Thankfully it seems actively maintained. So on Windows I have started using that for now. On Linux I still use Firefox because the enlightened repository maintainers don’t allow any Firefox/Chromium forks and I don’t wanna use Flatpak or pacakge it myself.
Are there any other forks worth considering?
LibreWolf is good, just enable
privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxinginabout:config(they have binary repositories for Debian and some derivatives). There’s also Arkenfox if you just want reasonable settings in FirefoxI saw arkenfox a while back but I found the instructions confusing (there is no one line install command in the readm).
You can just move the user.js in your firefox profile, and read the wiki for tweaks
Thanks
