Firefox is good privacy wise, but does not have sensible default. Also there have been times when mozilla have made not so promising statements.

Agree, I recently checked further after seeing “sponsored” icons in my new tab page. Had to turn that off. I understand why it’s on by default, it’s just not congruent with privacy.

I’d say thats less a matter of privacy since it doesn’t reveal anything to the “sponsors”. More like bloat? Honestly can’t find the exact for rn

I think you’re right. It exposes whatever IP endpoint you’re on to the request but irrelevant with a VPN.

Love Librewolf, its default privacy settings are the best I have seen.

Ehat defaults arent sensible? Oh no the bar is on the bottom(its more logical on large phones and its the first and only setting you need to change to make it work like chrome). On pc its just better than chrome in any way.
