What would Firefox be if it was private by default?

It would be LibreWolf.

An independent fork of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom.

I've been disappointed with Mozilla since the Looking Glass plug-in. They've been up to lots of shenanigans since that debacle. I still trust them more than Google, though, and it's hard to switch to a browser fork because of constant zero-days.

Still, I'm willing to give this a try.

this looks interesting… let's see if I can discuss about ereplacing μblock with adnauseam.io/ (which uses μblock as engine)

AdNauseam - Clicking Ads So You Don't Have To

A browser extension that clicks on every blocked ad to fight advertising surveillance.

I like how they have a slogan that SHOULD be mozillas:
"…, focused on privacy, security and freedom."

Mozilla says:
"No shady privacy policies or back doors for advertisers. Just a lightning fast browser that doesn’t sell you out. If you change the defaults."

… ok I added the last sentence, but why is it missing? 🤔

well I use it and we, geek people, must acknowledge that LW is *way* too focused on security. Nothing like a daily usable browser for non tech people (or people that don't have time to tweak a setting every time a site breaks)

last time i checked they didn't support ipv6, which, imho, is throwing out the baby with the bath water.

And yes, i know that it is because most of the distros don't seem to implement the current rfc and bcp documents.

Inspired from this, how would Firefox look if it followed the unix philosophy? Just html and js + css as plugin? Option to replace the js engine? User selectable video player?

I've switched to #librewolf couple of months ago. And I'm pretty happy. Feels pretty similar to #firefox with all the annoying bits simply gone. :)
