LibreWolf

If you don't care about the extra security and privacy stuff that it adds and just want an unfucked firefox fork you can follow this reddit comment:

/u/aaaaaaaaabbaaaaaaaaa

Go on about:config. Type "privacy.clearonshutdown". Many options will show up. Make sure those between "privacy.clearonshutdown.cache" to "privacy.clearonshutdown.sitesettings" (including the two) are set to FALSE.

Then type webgl.disabled and set it to FALSE.

Go on Settings:

On General->Startup, Enable Open previous windows and tabs

On Privacy & Security->Cookies and Site Data, uncheck "Delete cookies and site data when LibreWolf is closed"

On Privacy & Security->History, check the three options there.

On LibreWolf, disable "Limit cross-origin referrers", "Enable ResistFingerprinting", "Enable letterboxing", "Silently block canvas access requests", and "Enforce OCSP hard-fail".

Also on LibreWolf, enable webgl.

Why LibreWolf and not waterfox? I'm genuinely asking, at the moment I migrated from FF to WF, but wasn't quite sure. What I read was that LW was restricted to the point where some extensions or sites broke, but I'm not sure if that's right or not

LibreWolf is more heavy-fisted with its security and privacy setup. It does break some sites, though that reddit comment I pasted helps mitigate that problem a bit.

I don't use WaterFox but from what I understand it's a decent alternative that doesn't send it full-throttle on removing telemetry, tracking, ads, cookies, etc. which makes it less safe but way more usable.

Why not Earthfox or Windfox?

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Earthfox is great but only regionally effective. There are no privacy issues in Ba Sing Se.

Windfox became unviable when the Firefox Nation attacked.

[–] petrichornetrainfall@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Exactly, when firefox attacks you have to start with the browser of Water, earthfox comes after.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Waterfox — fork

Airfox — add-on

Earthfox — theme

Which one is September, then?

Need a wake up call at the end?

[–] XLE@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I thought ~~most~~ all of this stuff could easily be re-enabled through the Settings screens themselves (including a LibreWolf-exclusive page that lets you unbreak the canvas sizing), including the first section of your recommendations!

This is good to know, though.

[–] mushroomman_toad@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

yeah, all of these are options in the settings screen.
