Well, Mozilla seems to be making some pretty questionable decisions, So I’m considering switching browsers for the third (Is it the third?) time. The thing is, I really like the way Firefox works, so I’ve been trying out the more famous Forks like Waterfox and Librewolf, although I’m going for Floorp. However, I’m wondering: is using a fork enough? I mean, they are Forks maintained by other people, but is there a chance that whatever Mozilla does to Firefox could affect those Forks? Should I jump to a totally different browser like Vivaldi?

    I never got on with librewolf, it just feels like one of those things that doesn’t really benefit me much and needlessly makes life harder

      Use Librewolf if

      • You do not approve of Mozilla’s direction with Firefox (I personally don’t have an issue)
      • You don’t want to be fingerprinted by every websites
      • Want to be very privacy conscious

      If these are not your requirements, stick with Firefox. When you switch to Librewolf, you have to give up some QoL features (dark mode, adaptable screen size and more). Unfortunately, privacy in the modern web requires some sacrifice.
