• Firefox is a privacy-friendly alternative to Chrome, using its own browser engine (Gecko) and offering strong privacy protections compared to Chromium-based browsers.
  • Despite its benefits, Firefox relies on Google for funding, raising concerns about its future, and some recent privacy decisions have drawn criticism.
  • Switching from Chrome to Firefox is simple, and alternatives like Mullvad Browser offer even stronger privacy for those seeking more protection.

    I use librewolf (and have for a while) the extra privacy really isn’t intrusive, there are some sites that don’t work correctly, on it, but I just open up regular Firefox and throw the URL there if that’s the case.

    The only thing I don’t like is how long it takes to build whenever there’s an update. I only update it 1-2 times a month but it’s still a 20-30 minute process each time

      I switched to arkenfox since the librewolf package lagged a bit on arch and I didn’t want to build myself. If sites really break bad (usually I can get around it by disabling some ublock settings), I just open a blank firefox profile
