With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

    The default settings of librewolf would drive the average user crazy. I’m not a fan of Firefox and use Librewolf myself but Firefox has sensible defaults for an average user that would be a net positive coming from Chrome. Just an FYI thinking of making the switch.

    For additional context of those curious, Librewolf is very hardened by default. When you close your browser all site data is wiped (this can be turned off). Most people don’t mess with their browser settings though… there’s also a lot of little things that are disabled by default that will make people think the browser is broken e.g. canvas requests are silently denied by default, it’s just not realistic for most people to use librewolf.

        Oh yeah, not meaning to hate on your suggestion, just giving a fair warning to those who are looking to take the plunge. I consider myself advanced and librewolf drove me crazy for a few days but stuck with it and found a balance of settings that I like.

      The average user is the greatest weak point in their security. Don’t be the average user.
