@release_candidate try #Librewolf it's peachy keen, and it loves to smoke jazz cigarettes under the Bleachers.
…Danke für den Browser-Tipp @MrClicko und ich schau mir mal dessen Differenzen zum Firefox-Klon LibreWolf an.
«Aus Ärger über Firefox ist der @zenbrowser entstanden:
Eine Abspaltung des Firefox-Browsers weist viele nützliche Funktionen auf, die auch dem Original gut anstehen würden.»
yay -S librewolf
I've postponed trying #librewolf for way too long
Maybe next year Google will be forced to not pay Mozilla's income for the default search engine deal.
With the death of Mozilla, what will be the recommended browser?
I assume, without real knowledge of the matter, that Firefox forks don't focus on bugfixes and security patches.
And alternatives like Servo engine or Ladybird don't seem ready yet.
#LibreWolf on macOS doesn't load fonts like Firefox does -- resulting in a look of Arial + Times on e.g. my site
#Librewolf fully blocked after #MacOS bump to 15.2. Can’t launch from CLI as I could before. Ended up using this solution; doesn’t seem like a great idea though… https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/bug-or-intentional-macos-15-1-completely-removes-ability-to-launch-unsigned-applications.2441792/post-33540764
I would love to make #qutebrowser or #luakit my main browser, but I can't configure either of them to my needs the way I can with #librewolf using plugins.
I'm afraid that Librewolf will adopt undesirable elements of its origin #Firefox, which is why I need alternatives. #Linux #Arch #Data protection
(Before anyone suggests it to me: No, #Brave is not coming onto my device.)
Me when someone is still not using an open source browser is 2024. Like... Seriously!... It's such a no-brainer!
@shonin i'll try #Waterfox. I wanted to try #Librewolf, but unfortunately it doesn't run on my mac
#Firefox got a ton of variants/forks recently.
- #Librewolf
- #MullvadBrowser
- #ZenBrowser
- #Midori
On Android #Mull (thanks @divested !)
So yeah I take Firefox + #Arkenfox user.js or Librewolf if they fixed their CI/CD
@jon
On the desktop, I use #Librewolf, the #Firefox fork. But, on Android, I prefer the #DuckDuckGo Browser.
After being unsatisfied with Nextcloud Bookmarks, I'm giving a competing project a try on my #RaspberryPi 5: Shiori (the Japanese word for "Bookmark").
So far, it was arguably worth it: shiori saves bookmarks reliably, unlike #Nextcloud bookmarks, which is eternally and embarrassingly losing the session, and has a hard time re-establishing it - even within a LAN!
#Shiori has some annoyances as well: the #Firefox extension doesn't work in #Librewolf, the browser I use. And the Shiori Android app crashes easily in several embarrassing ways. I've learned to always use the "share" icon, to open a saved bookmark in a mobile browser.
Was reminded that #Firefox 1.0 was released 20 years ago on 9 November 2004!

I know that @mozilla is having a lot of problems recently and some people are moving to other browsers. (I myself have switched to #LibreWolf on my Linux box, though that is still problematic because LibreWolf is ultimately dependent on the Firefox codebase.) But I still use it and have since the Phoenix days.
@ngmi You could consider other #opensource alternatives like #Mullvadbrowser ( @mullvadnet) / #Tor (@torproject) or #Librewolf
so #Vivaldi was the clear winner in my poll, but my FOSS-loving heart is inclined to stick to the Mozilla base with #librewolf . is there a compelling reason for me not to and migrate to Vivaldi?
For all of those angry about #mozilla abandoning us for the almighty investor class and the advertiser bottom feeding scum that have ruined the internet for all, but you want to keep using the parts that made #firefox truly a great browser, I highly recommend switching to #librewolf. I don’t recommend using #chromium based browsers because #google is in to deep there and now with trump in charge the antitrust against google will fall apart.
And the more people using it, the greater the chance we can fork the browser away from Mozilla and let them rot.
#infosec #opsec Okay, I like privacy but I also like account sync. Should I use #vivaldi or #librewolf ?
Für alle, die Probleme mit #macOS 15.1 und dem Öffnen von Programmen haben. Ihr könnt die #App folgendermassen selbst signieren. So funktioniert dann auch #Librewolf wieder problemlos.
codesign --remove-signature /Applications/NameOfApp.app
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/NameOfApp.app
…unfortunately, this will not only affect @mozilla Firefox, but also @librewolf and @torproject. Chrome and its clones are not an alternative, because that is Google capitalism and not freedom.
