How is it different from container tabs?

Dominion0236,

I use profiles for different extension needs. Like a YouTube profile with sponserblock.

Profiles are separate browser instances : settings, bookmarks, navigation data (history/cookies/etc.), plugins, etc. are all isolated.

It’s an ideal separation between personal and professional.

stepanzak, in Android version

The Mull browser on F-Droid is similar in concept (privacy-focused FF fork)

CriticalMiss, in Is this message normal?

I’m fairly certain RFP is enabled by default. This can cause sites to break as you will be flagged as a potential bot/scraper.

One of the sites that comes to mind is Twitch which refuses you to log in.

Wtf?

lemmyuser30, in Firefox needs a 180° turn to full privacy out of the box. - Feddit

Yea let’s bash Mozilla about privacy while also name dropping Brave LMAAAOOOOO. What a joke.

I dont use Brave. But they are better out of the box, regarding fingerprinting, adblock etc.

@Pantherina Firefox is busted and Mozilla is broken. Need to revert to core principles. In the meantime use Librewolf, a better privacy focused fork of Firefox, and Betterbird, a better privacy focused for of Thunderbird.

They’ve raked in BILLIONS from Google by selling their customers. In the FOSS world, the customer should be a partner, not the product.

True. In the current way, there really is no reason to use Firefox for privacy people. Instead, you just use a really private browser and mozillas way of making money makes no sense.

If they where simply being legit out of the box, why not use it? I would donate all the time if they just asked?

Those privacy browsers are small UI and settings changes, thats it. They are nothing without Firefox.

panbroggi, in Is it possible to have a bookmark automatically open in a certain container?
@panbroggi@feddit.it avatar

I set up a rule to always open the bookmarked website in the container, to get there

miss_brainfart,
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

Could you point me in the right direction? I don’t think I’m familiar with where to set these rules

panbroggi,
@panbroggi@feddit.it avatar

Right-click on the link, select “Open link in new Container Tab,” and clicking “Always open link in this container.” This will set all links to that domain to open in that container.

Always open link in this container

That option doesn’t show up. Is that actually how it’s supposed to work for Librewolfs’ built-in containers?

maltejur, in LibreWolf Microsoft Store not getting updated?

I am the person publishing the Microsoft Store releases. The releases are currently only published manually, as the Microsoft Store API is pretty horrendous. A lot of other stuff in the publishing pipeline is currently already pretty automated, so sometimes I miss an release or the release is delayed a bit. I hope in the future we manage to implement automatic publishing to the Microsoft Store, then the releases should happen at the same time as all others.

darcy, in Are there any alternative icons for Librewolf?
@darcy@sh.itjust.works avatar

if u want to make one yourself, you should be able to change the path to the icon in the .desktop file

H2207, in Librewolf vs. Waterfox
@H2207@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve tried both, they’re pretty similar. I use Librewolf just because it’s more popular and is listed on privacytests.org

Paradox,
@Paradox@lor.sh avatar

@H2207 @original_reader Waterfox isn't bad, it works fast (it used to), but it was under the wing of System1. It has only recently been released from them.

zaplachi, in LibreWolf vs Arkenfox

From the creator of arkenfox.js

AF (arkenfox) vs LW (librewolf) AF enables SB (safe browsing) and uses mozilla’s API key. LW doesn’t have a SB key (edit: note AF does block real time binary checks) AF updates same as Firefox. LW has no updater in windows AF can use any language, LW is limited to en-US AF restricts cross-site referrers by default LW ships with uBO - AF users have to do that manually and add/flip the two recommended filters as per the AF wiki So basically everything you see at Arthur’s independent test site at privacytests.org for LW applies to AF along with referrers (navigational) with a green check as well

Nice!

chayleaf, in Does anyone know why a website may not work in LibreWolf?

privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config forbids the websites to use canvas by default among other things, you can override it using site permissions

AnAnonymousApe,
@AnAnonymousApe@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks.

SomeBoyo, in Does anyone know why a website may not work in LibreWolf?

Does it work on Firefox?

AnAnonymousApe,
@AnAnonymousApe@lemmy.ml avatar

It does. I found a workaround. but it required changing settings. Librewolf is a little too secure for some websites to work correctly it seems.

XpeeN,

At the left side of the URL bar you can see an Image icon, it’s for manualy enable canvas usage for a specific website. Don’t turn it off globally in about:config.

that’s some good news
