But for now, it is a fine alternative to vanilla Firefox if you really want to base on it. then LibreWolf devs will have to maintain those features themselves, and I doubt they can keep up with such a small dev power. Clearly nothing compared to what Firefox is doing, but LibreWolf is still dependent on Mozilla - if they start adding more nonsense, removing about:config options, userchrome.css support (as they were planning to do), Alsa support, etc. At least, that was the plan but then it died and was inactive for a very long time apparently until now (March 12) - so watch this space for updates! UPDATE April 3: the new appimage release has no problems aside from the lists for uBlock Origin being automatically updated. All included search engines will be private by default (no big G) and no unsolicited requests will be made. LibreWolf aims to fix many of the issues vanilla FF has - it will be compiled with no telemetry, Pocket or pulseaudio requirements. Some community members revived it as an independent project this time. The first version (Librefox) was considered just an 'enhanced' Firefox - until it was killed by Mozilla(archive). LibreWolf is to Firefox what Ungoogled-Chromium is to Chrome. I recommend skipping this one especially in light of the recent happenings at Mozilla. Packages for most distros are also not provided, so you'll have to compile. UPDATE: it's fucking August 2020, and the latest release of IceCat is still version 60.7 compared to Firefox 79. All in all, IceCat fixes many Firefox issues but leaves more of them in - and it can't be otherwise since they are fully dependent on Mozilla's decisions in the end.
Though it is made by more ethical people, this browser still suffers from many of Firefox' ills - like the shitty UI, slow speed, lack of configuration, deprecated addons etc. Some privacy addons are included by default, but you should still use uMatrix - though newbies might like having some privacy built-in. Older versions had some spyware in there, but 60.2 removed all of it as far as I can see. This means no Flash Player compatibility as well as an annoying LibreJS addon included by default. GNU IceCatįirefox fork from the Free Software Foundation - with a huge focus on freetardism. I doubt any Firefox based browsers will survive this apocalypse, to be honest. I suspect this is preparation for ceding control of the web browsing ecosystem to Google soon (as predicted in Mozilla - Devil Incarnate, they were always controlled opposition). As if it wasn't already obvious earlier, they have now thrown out 250 people mostly working on technical stuff such as their rendering engine or browser security. August 2020 update: Mozilla has now clearly ceased caring about technology, but is instead fully focusing on social issues - From combatting a lethal virus and battling systemic racism. Add to that the slow speed and shitty UI and you have a browser you're never going to want to use. Briefly, they include removing configuration options, having anti-privacy default search engines, lying about being privacy-based, removing addon compatibility, disrespecting contributors, shoving you targeted advertisements, enforcing usage of certain other software, and many, many others (read the article!). There is a long history of anti-user decisions with this one - it's so big I've written a massive article about it and other Mozilla's sins.
