OK then, trying LibreWolf (privacy based fork of Firefox).
First criteria: does it work?
- Got my important extensions installed and tested. Set up my pinned tabs. Logged into my important accounts. So far, so good.
I'll have to give it a few days to see if there are any pain points. I also need to learn more about exactly what it's doing for me beyond auto-installing uBlock Origin (I'm sure a lot more).
More on LibreWolf.
Likes:
- DuckDuckGo as default search engine. Check.
- "Ask to save passwords" disabled by default. Check.
Dislikes:
- Logs me out of everything and wipes history on restart. But I can turn that off. So we're good.
A bit more...
I chose to delete history and cookies for everything but added exceptions to the things I really do want to stay logged into after I restart. That mostly works. I don't restart my browser too often anyway.
Just trying to balance privacy and security with some convenience.
A specific list of logouts, specific list of sites to make no cookie written locally, no cookies or trackers stored at all except for specific sites. Blocking all else. First time caller at every site.
I want my browser to be a third story jewel thief, or a person new to.town in shades that never returns. Disturb nothing, leave no scuffs. Carry no burrs.
@bit101 i believe it doesn't do much more than being a rebuild without mozilla branding, some features removed and some exquisite default settings https://librewolf.net/docs/features/

You could check out zen browser. It's Firefox with a better UI, some privacy improvements, and a few other things.
