    From the blog post…

    You won’t be pampered with a one-click installation for all. Instead, you’ll need to take the time to review the documentation and set up the security and privacy features that you’re willing to trade off for comfort and convenience.

    Yeah, ouch, thats not going to sell with the Plebs, and limit buy-in from them, and market share.

    They really should try to fix that, and not just hand wave it away as a problem.

    Market share is the lifeblood of the browser wars.

      😆 I don’t think LibreWolf has view for market share and plebs. As far as I know it’s a community initiative, not a company. Yes, it require time to install and setup, and understand the implication of what security and privacy setting one decide to lower. But I’m happy I took this time, I feel I understand even more how the web of 2025 is broken and how web browser interacts with it to try to ease the experience.

        I’ve never met a software developer yet who wouldn’t want their program to be popular and widely used.

        Also, when it comes to browsers, the name of the game is to get support from the big websites, which is done by having major/popular usage of their browser.

      Everything is on by default. So is actually quite easy.

      It’s very nice because you don’t really have to worry about which add-ons you need.

      It’s about the most simple browser I’ve ever used.
