Firefox's new AI-powered 'Smart Window' feature is taking shape in development builds – I gave it a hands on in the latest v149.0b7 beta (on macOS).

      Librewolf has been my pick for a couple years now. Some sites break because they can’t read the canvas, but the fix is easy - allow the site to access it. I messed up a work contract signature because of this once, and my scribbles looked like random digital noise. It was fun explaining that to finance and having them reissue the contract.

      Personally I main Librewolf for a few years now, but you need to remember that cookies are opt-in (shield icon, click the cookie toggle).

      Personally I think it’s a great feature but some people may prefer cookies always on

        I dunno. I tend to reject cookies on most websites by default. Maybe this is good for me.

      Waterfox took all of like 5 minutes to get up and running and imported all my stuff from Firefox too. Going on maybe two months using it and yet to have any issues. I think you’ll be fine with either choice!

      Seems either one is good, including Mullvad, depending on your threat model.

      I’d say from lowest to highest threat model for Gecko-forked browsers: WaterFox, Librewolf, Mullvad, Tor.

      for now… they depend on Firefox. Not sure what will happen once it goes the way of the shit.

    If they use my porn searches they should pay me >:(

    But in all seriousness, just switch to https://librewolf.net/installation/

    From my understanding if you’ve toggled the global “AI kill switch” in the options, this will cover it as well?

    That being said, the writing’s been on the wall for a while. Probably LibreWolf for me.

      I mean it’s funding is overwhelmingly Google to have it as the default search engine.
