That’s why I don’t use password manager and learn every unique randomly generated 22-character password by memory. I can’t remember my mother’s name but at least I can log into myspace.
Thanks, now I know exactly how many characters there are in all of your passwords. This will greatly reduce the time to crack all your accounts on my potato laptop.
Hardened by default, no telemetry, no Pocket, virtually everything Mozilla-related removed, and timely updates unlike some other forks. It is like the Ungoogled Chromium equivalent of Firefox. Since I do not like the company it is the perfect option for me.
They are a for-profit company including laying off staff but their CEO still makes CEO money even while the company is struggling. Not to mention if you are trying to degoogle that is where Mozilla makes the bulk of its income. That’s just a few things of many, they’ve also made stupid decisions like leaving Thunderbird out in the cold for years or that whole Colorways thing they wasted time on. Not to mention I don’t actually even like Firefox the browser. I use librewolf strictlty out of principle and not because I actually prefer it over chromium. I think it is inferior in most ways but I am opposed to the centralization so here we are.
Just as a sidenote, Thunderbird is not part of the same company as firefox and was part of the Mozilla foundation until 2020. Thunderbird is no longer “out in the cold”. There is a new version (115) that you might want to check out if you like thunderbird.
I am aware. I have been a Thunderbird user for at least 15 years which is why I am unhappy with their general treatment of it over the years as a second class citizen. But at least it is in a better place now.
It’s hardened. Breaks websites if you don’t loosen up security. Personally, I’m fine with not being able to access websites which absolutely attempt to implement rubbish like a bunch of failed redirects (looking at you aliexpress), but YMMV
How is Librewolf better?
I too would like this knowledge to be imparted upon my person.
It erases your history every time you close it so it helps you sharpen your memory.

That is a Firefox setting. I use it on my phone.
I use it on my arch machine
That only works if you use the 3 dot menu and press Quit, unless there’s another setting I don’t know about.
It works when you close the window, with the exception of Mac which requires you to fully quit, just like any other Mac application.
I am 100% positive that it is NOT working for me upon fully closing Firefox on Android.
I am not saying you are wrong. I can remember having that issue in the past. I don’t know if it is fixed by now. I just use the quit.
While annoying if it is still the case on Android, I primarily wanted to express that it is a Firefox feature in general.
You are correct. I use it on desktop and it works fine.
Yup same here. So instead I just set my tabs to automatically close after 1 day. Not perfect, but better than nothing.
That’s… one way to look at it.

Why don’t you like Mozilla?

I don’t want to engage with the rest.

They waste a lot of money on unrelated projects
Which they often half-ass, then discontinue like Lockwise. A bit like Google is handling their projects.
Its hardened firefox, but you dont have to do any of the hardening yourself. Thats it, and thats why I continue to just use hardened firefox.
Heh… hardened
They pre-install ublock origin basically.
