Is there a massive difference between the two? Anything I should be wary of with either of them before I use it? I’m definitely privacy focused and have been trying out both but have been wondering if Vivaldi with uBlock Origin serves my purpose just as well as LibreWolf would.

    Mozilla Firefox… the wolf in sheep’s clothing… since Mitchell Baker left the leadership position last year, Mozilla has been financially oriented. The focus is on AI, user data is processed and so on. Mozilla can no longer be recommended with a clear conscience.

      A web browser is the space shuttle of consumer software. The Gecko rendering engine alone has an enormous attack surface. Which of these forks is contributing security patches to keep it secure?

        I use librewolf and zen Browser. but I don’t want to recommend any of them because there are other good alternatives too. But especially the popularity of librewolf has also made it a “target” by malware appearing in the aur “librewolf-some name extension”, which was probably also installed.
