The only thing keeping me from switching to Librewolf or Waterfox is the lack of a companion iOS app. I would like to have my bookmarks and tabs stay in sync between my Mac and iOS devices. Is there a good way to sync at least bookmarks between different browsers? #librewolf #waterfox #browsers #iOS #mac

Más vivaldi, menos pavarotti. He decidido darle una oportunidad a Vivaldi como alternativa a Firefox. Por ahora seguiré usando Librewolf como navegador principal, pero si me gusta Vivaldi, podría reemplazarlo en el futuro.

Adelante estudios.

#Vivaldi #Firefox #Librewolf

i did use #librewolf instead of #firefox for some time, but eventually switched back for a few reasons:

• it took longer for updates to arrive into my distro's repository, even security updates
• some other apps, like keepassxc, had to be manually configured to interface with librewolf the same way they do with firefox normally
• i learned that my distro already applies most of the "removed telemetry" changes to regular firefox anyway

I was asked about the @Vivaldi Browser. It is a powerful tool and has some nice features, but I cannot recommend it because it is not fully open source. Following GNU Freedom 1, I believe users must have the right to study and change their software, not just audit some of the files.

With Firefox now introducing a one click AI opt out in version 148, it remains the superior recommendation for people who value privacy and code transparency over proprietary UI features. Don't get me wrong, I am completely #NoAI but knowing a browser has a toggle I can verify is better than trusting a corporation’s word.

Vivaldi claims only 5% is proprietary, yet they keep it closed to prevent forks. They benefit from the open-source community while intentionally blocking others from doing the same. That is hypocritical.

For most people, @librewolf and @zenbrowser remain my top recommendations.

I switched to #Librewolf as my browser recently. Mostly it's been OK, but occasionally I notice 'blanked' images. Today I tried to upload some screenshots to bluesky and they kept being replaced with 'blank' images, even when I then view them from another browser / device. Turns out that if you don't grant (forbidden by default for privacy) canvas permissions, bsky image upload is broken. I don't even want to think about why this is the case, but it's really crappy. Apparently the canvas permissions are disabled by default as they give sites access to a strongly identifiable fingerprint, another way to track users across the web.

There are other sites where this permission is even needed for the favicon to display correctly (i.e discord).

@siklist @kkarhan @mozilla_support FWIW, #LibreWolf and #Waterfox both use Mozilla sync servers, so you can continue to use that service (if you use it) with the same privacy guarantees #Firefox Sync has.

@samuel that's good. But I have begun running #librewolf just to be sure. They remove the crap at compile time.

@rysiek
Michal, are there Firefox extensions that are compatible with LibreWolf?
For example, I use the tab management app OneTab, and would like to be able to continue using it -- or an alternative -- should I switch to LibreWolf.
I hope you'll be able to tell me that most addons created for Firefox also work in Librewolf, and I'll be off to the races.

Kennt sich denn jemand mit den Android Browsers aus, die auf Firefox basieren und auf Datenschutz und Sicherheit getrimmt sind?

Denn ich suche eine gute Alternative zu dem FOSS Browser und ggf. dem iodéOS Browser, der aktuell gehalten wird.

Deshalb habe ich auch mal den Android Browser IronFox ausprobiert, der von LibreWolf als Alternative empfohlen wird, da es für den LibreWolf Browser leider keine Android Version gibt.

Und was ist die bessere Wahl zwischen dem FOSS Browser, iodéOS Browser und auch dem IronFox Browser in Sachen Datenschutz, Sicherheit und Aktualität?

Ich denke mal der IronFox Browser, weil er der Nachfolger von dem Mullvad Browser ist oder etwa doch nicht und an sich gefällt er mir auch schon mal besser als der FOSS Browser und der iodéOS Browser, obwohl er nicht gerade leichgewichtig ist im Vergleich zum FOSS Browser, genauso der iodéOS Browser als Schwergewicht?

Better to not deal with AI at all. #Librewolf

Interesting....

#mozilla announced that you can soon turn off #ai in #firefox.

https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ai-controls/

But you know Mozilla is an advertising company right? There's gonna be a catch.

You can use Firefox without all the AI bullshit, annoying "we care about you" popups and other cruft by using a fork like #librewolf.

@c64whiz More distros should be shipping #LibreWolf by default, but high-level changes like these are notoriously difficult to push through because it relies upon leadership being aware / onboard and such changes are often gated by the BDFL's ego

#linux #mozilla #firefox #linuxmint

Current browser setup consists of: #waterfox as my daily driver. I also have #librewolf installed in case I need access to more "modern" browser features that are not available in the ESR version of #firefox. And lastly, I also have #vivaldi in my back pocket in case I need to test something on a #chromium based browser.

Ah, and if you reload the page, you'll leave a zombie old-you in the meeting 😂

And the typical canvas-not-working :librewolf: #LibreWolf dance, even when allowing it (which you only can after the document.createElement("canvas").toDataURL(); console pasting), camera effects still don't work and just show garbage.

Mostly done with moving from Firefox to @librewolf as my daily driver.

Screw Mozilla's "AI" bullshit.

#Mozilla #LibreWolf #AI

Apparently #microsoft does not like #librewolf or at least #groupme does not like #librewolf

Groupme no longer allows me to log in from librewolf. All I get is a spinning dialog. This used to work.

Still works in #firefox. Makes me wonder what personal data firefox is feeding #microslop

:boost_requested: Does anyone know of an extension to make it so #Firefox (well #LibreWolf) can actually get past #cloudflare bot walls?

I usually just click away and don't visit, but have to switch to Chrome if it's important (say a doctor) because #Firefox always gets the infinite loop.

I would use #patreon so much more if I could login without my least favorite browser tracking me enough to prove I'm human. [the fuck]

Fuck #cloudflare so much. Even when I turn off my VPN it doesn't work.

What about Librewolf version 147.0.2-1 aarch64 edition ?
The website returns "404 - not found"

https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/24386000/packages/generic/librewolf/147.0.2-1/LibreWolf.aarch64.AppImage

Was the image not created ?

EDIT: Found the new "version" ( a directory with all the required stuff inside) on codeberg.
However: All my bookmarks and my settings (communication via tor) are, of course, gone.😩

@tfowinder Thanks for the update on #chrome and #AI

I prefer browsers which are setup right. Check out experiences with #Vivaldi and #Librewolf: https://mastodon.social/@TheStefan/114295631662945798
