I'm aware that it used to be owned by an ad company System1. But I found this post by the founder where he said that it's now an independent project.

Forgot about the window size thing, I looked up the setting to make it open normally.

I know I'm defeating the purpose by undoing someone the settings, but I'd rather the defaults be set for privacy and I disable the few that are overbearing/hindering my use. Never did use containers, so I didn't know it was bad.

Yeah, I just feel like for my use case, I didn't need all of those extra features that LibreWolf has. If people want privacy, it and Mullvad are great Firefox options, but Waterfox is more than solid for people who use it as an alternative for big tech type stuff.
