minus-squareXLE@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27·edit-26 days ago Both browsers are more private OOTB than Firefox. LibreWolf has more privacy- and security-oriented defaults than Waterfox, like a halfway point between Firefox and Tor Browser: It enables Resist Fingerprinting by default It discards browsing history by default It has a new Settings menu that makes it relatively easy to control these features that tend to break websites. It lacks some of the customization features Waterfox pioneered.

minus-squareJankatarch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-25 days agoLibrewolf runs better on windows from experience. Also my professors’ lecture recordings on the bullshit microsoft cloud storage doesn’t open on waterfox but does open on librewolf. I still like waterfox more tho. It feels lighter and runs on android.
minus-squarereluctant_squidd@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 days agoI feel torn regarding the lectures. Bs lectures sound bad, but being forced to use microslop seems somehow worse. I have a few pcs and laptops on the go atm, so I plan to swap one to Librewolf and see hope it goes vs. Waterfox. Unless I notice or am impressed by something noteworthy, I’ll probably just stick with Waterfox on the others for now.
