    Ditching Firefox for Librewolf is not a solution. Librewolf is just a fork Firefox. If Firefox wouldn’t exist anymore, neither does Librewolf.

      It definitely isn’t a solution to any wider problems, but for my needs it’s the best gecko-based browser.

        This project is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox

        It seems like a fork to me.

        Also, the “patches” consist in the removal of telemetry, which again be disabled in the settings or through the about:config.

        A browser needs an high amount of money an people working on it, it’s not sometimes that can be done by a few individuals. Forks of Firefox are alive because Firefox is alive. No Firefox , no forks.
