Quoting another HN user regarding librewolf:
> Binaries are unsigned, third party update service, Google safe browsing disabled unless you build from source, running unusual browser setups can actually make you more distinctive online, unencrypted DNS by default, speed of security patches is slower than base Firefox, etc.
- babypuncher 3y agoYeah I like what LibreWolf is doing, but it seems more reasonable to just disable the Firefox features you don't like.
- oynqr 3y agoAll of those except the last one are positives.
- LightHugger 3y agoUnsigned binaries is good, update service is good, google safe browsing disabled is mega good, unencrypted dns is comparatively good from what i understand compared to mozilla's imperfect solution. Speed of security patches is not great, but having non-mozilla vetting on security patches is a tradeoff that is worthwhile.
