How effective is it for online privacy? I have been using it for some time and it tends to break some sites like banking websites and twitch. I haven’t messed around a lot with the config except allowing DRM and setting up a start page.

I am wondering if using arkenfox/user.js is making my browsing fingerprint unique and whether there are better alternatives for privacy focused browsers.

Interesting and good points.

The main reason I librewolf is there are a lot of settings in arkenfox that are unprivate in my opinion, and some things are blocked that don’t need to be, and the .js file makes it hard to edit settings.

That said arkenfox is still far superior to Firefox or any chromium derivative, and probably a better option for the average user than librewolf

Oh and there is a librewolf auto update extension if folks are interested
