[–] netchami@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 years ago (4 children) Just use LibreWolf if you want debloated Firefox permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] soulfirethewolf@lemdro.id 3 points 3 years ago (3 children) Librewolf isn't just a debloated version of Firefox. It's built with a completely different goal of being extra locked down for privacy. More so than the defaults of Firefox. Also, it doesn't even include auto update functionality unless you're using a package manager. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] netchami@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago (2 children) It’s built with a completely different goal of being extra locked down for privacy. More so than the defaults of Firefox. That's good, isn't it? Also, it doesn’t even include auto update functionality I completely forgot this was even as thing because I exclusively use Linux and install/update everything with a package manager. You can also use Chocolatey on Windows or Homebrew on macOS. I feel like more people should use package managers, by using them you avoid having to download some random executables from shady websites and your system doesn't get bloated up by 423942389 update daemons that are constantly running in the background. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] soulfirethewolf@lemdro.id 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) That's good, isn't it? It is, but it's also not for everyone Also, I strongly don't expect everyday users to use package managers. And personally, I like having notifications in the app whenever it's time to update so I can take action right there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] netchami@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 years ago* It is, but it’s also not for everyone Why? Pretty much every website works fine on LibreWolf. I like having notifications in the app whenever it’s time to update I mean, yeah, sure, it would be great if LibreWolf had an auto-update functionality, for me it's not a deal breaker though. permalink fedilink source parent
