Do you use any forks instead of default Firefox? If yes, which ones and why?

Librewolf was a candidate I would have installed and tried, but its missing a feature: it does not have builtin support for passwords.

I always disable password management by Firefox, but I noped out of LibreWolf because it doesn't allow users to block all cookies and then whitelist domains for cookies.

I suspect what a lot of people want is a custom version of Firefox with the garbage surgically removed before compile; where the opt-in options still exist for:

  • browser-kept passwords,
  • browser-kept payment details,
  • blocking cookies,
  • whitelisting cookie domains,
  • crash reports,
  • remote changes between updates,
  • scanning everything you download for danger,
  • scanning every site you go to for danger,
  • etc. .

    I've been able to block all cookies by default and whitelist certain websites for i'm practically every firefox fork I've messed around with. The options are right next to each other in the privacy tab. I usually use it in conjunction with container tabs so the exempt apps can only open when I set a container.
