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.

That is a Firefox setting. I use it on my phone.

That’s… one way to look at it.

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.

Why don’t you like Mozilla?

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.

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.

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
