What would Firefox be if it was private by default?

It would be LibreWolf.

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 https://adnauseam.io/ (which uses μblock as engine)

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.

hmmm is there an android version of # somewhere or an alternative ?

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