I finally switched to Firefox last year after Chrome killed adblockers and now you're telling me I have to switch to something else?

I think firefox may be dead. I'm starting to see all the videos in my recommendations from everyone tech adjacent, and it's only day 1. Not sure who actually used FF still besides people that cared about that promise of privacy, so this may kill off that remaining % of marketshare.

>>2618 I'm sure they'll still get by off momentum, and because all the other main options already did this, but it will lead to an exodus of the type of people who tell others what browser they should be using.

>>2625 Librewolf seems like it'll be the best option going forwards since most people are talking about it. Probably means most of the extensions will move to it as well.

For anyone already on Firefox, if you want to transfer all of your existing settings to LibreWolf, the process is fairly easy:
0. (Optional) Install
Tab Session Manager on FireFox and save all open windows (Otherwise, none of your open windows or tabs will be in LibreWolf)
1. Install LibreWolf and open it once
2. Go to:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[randomstringofcharacters].default-release\ 3. Copy all of the files
4. Go to:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\librewolf\Profiles\[randomstringofcharacters].default-default\ 5. Paste and replace all
6. Go to:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[randomstringofcharacters].default-release 7. Copy all of the files
8. Go to:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\librewolf\Profiles\[randomstringofcharacters].default-default 9. Paste and replace all
10. Congratulations! You can now open LibreWolf! All of your settings, browser history, and extensions should have been copied over!
11. If you installed Tab Session Manager, you can go to the extension and open all of your previously open windows.

>>2631 Additionally, my personal recommendations once you have LibreWolf installed would be to:
1. Go into Settings > Privacy & Security
2. Disable "Clear history when LibreWolf closes" (Otherwise, your cookies will be nuked every time you close the browser, logging you out of every website)
And, if you're annoyed by every website now defaulting to the light theme:
1. Go into Settings > LibreWolf
2. Disable "Enable ResistFingerprinting" (Note: This is a privacy setting meant to prevent websites from fingerprinting your browser and putting together browsing activity. Disable at your own discretion.)
Anonymous 03/01/25 (Sat) 19:39:58 No. 2635 >>2637
>>2633 Respectfully, if I wanted the convenience of cookies and staying logged in between browser sessions, I'd just stay on Firefox or even Chrome. For those of us that care enough to delve into alternative browsers like these, logging back in to websites is a minor inconvenience that's worth the tradeoff.
Disabling Fingerprinting resistance seems to defeat the purpose of moving to such privacy-centric browsers, in my opinion.
Anonymous 03/01/25 (Sat) 20:04:12 No. 2639
>>2637 Of course, they're related since it's a fork. However when the recommendation was to disable the clearing of cookies, then I wanted to offer a counterpoint.
The tool can be improved and be spectacular (and the user is free to do whatever), but when it's used in such a way that is no different than the tool from which the user migrated, it's really the behavior that needs to be addressed.
Since people are making the effort to migrate, it's simultaneously a chance to clean up their OPSEC. I won't harp on the point, though, since each user has their risk tolerance and patience for inconvenience.

>>2634 Floorp is nice, but see image.
>>2631 Librewolf has different settings to firefox, they're supposed to be more "hardened". This might replace the settings with what you had for firefox, assuming they are not hardened. Also, not a good idea to copy the extensions, some are not supported on libre.
Follow this:
To migrate your Firefox data to LibreWolf without overwriting its hardened preferences, follow these steps:Profile Directories\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>.default-release\fault-release/t/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>.default-release/\LibreWolf\Profiles\<profile>.default\fault/t/LibreWolf/Profiles/<profile>.default/oth Browsers Firefox nor LibreWolf is running to prevent data corruption.ecific Filesfox profile, copy the following files to the LibreWolf profile: History: places.sqlite.sqlite.json + key4.db (and key3.db if present)sionstore.jsonlz4 formhistory.sqliteains settings) (site permissions)nually in LibreWolf) with privacy settings)Extensions Manuallyns in LibreWolf via its add-ons manager to ensure compatibility with its privacy settings.ity: If Firefox and LibreWolf versions differ significantly, sessionstore.jsonlz4 might not work. Use an extension like Session Manager to export/import tabs if issues arise. Master Password: If Firefox uses a master password, decrypt it first or manually export passwords via Firefox’s about:logins (enable security.allow_edit_encrypted_passwords in about:config to export). As a precaution, export Firefox bookmarks to HTML (Library → Bookmarks → Import/Backup → Export) before copying files. Anonymous 03/02/25 (Sun) 03:35:49 No. 2648

Firefox is like one of those fat Yosemite bears that's been fed by humans for 15 years. Their instincts are shot.

>>2659 >Turns out 500 million free dollars every year in corporate welfare Source?
In my experience, it's generally the opposite problem: corporations, by their very nature, are a) incentivized to extract every last drop of profit they can out of their customers, leading to scummy, anti-consumer practices like this, and b) are bloated and inefficient, leading to
retarded anti-consumer practices.

>>2625 I wanted to swap to mullvad but it was a bit uncomfortable for me with its default settings... I might try it again though as it's been about a year since I tried it. Brave is what I'm currently using but they keep pushing worse and worse updates to both the browser and the search engine, especially with them shilling ai. If they just promoted it would be one thing, but actively removing your ability to hide it using their built-in content blocking feature? Just despicable.
