    From my understanding if you've toggled the global "AI kill switch" in the options, this will cover it as well?

    That being said, the writing's been on the wall for a while. Probably LibreWolf for me.

    Uuuugggghhhh....

    Alright, so questions:

    LibreWolf or Waterfox?

    Librewolf has been my pick for a couple years now. Some sites break because they can't read the canvas, but the fix is easy - allow the site to access it. I messed up a work contract signature because of this once, and my scribbles looked like random digital noise. It was fun explaining that to finance and having them reissue the contract.

    Waterfox took all of like 5 minutes to get up and running and imported all my stuff from Firefox too. Going on maybe two months using it and yet to have any issues. I think you’ll be fine with either choice!

    Personally I main Librewolf for a few years now, but you need to remember that cookies are opt-in (shield icon, click the cookie toggle).

    Personally I think it's a great feature but some people may prefer cookies always on

    Seems either one is good, including Mullvad, depending on your threat model.

    I'd say from lowest to highest threat model for Gecko-forked browsers: WaterFox, Librewolf, Mullvad, Tor.

    Mozilla really has no clue about their users at all. So if this AI shit isn't incredibly lucrative on its own (like the Google deal) or brings in loads of new users (doubtful), then that's it.

    Which will be a huge problem - cause it will likely pull all the forks under with it. Once Firefox falls, the days of Librewolf, Waterfox etc. will likely be numbered.

  • If they use my porn searches they should pay me >:(

    But in all seriousness, just switch to https://librewolf.net/installation/
