IMO Librewolf ain’t simply Firefox, and I don’t think folks would say this if they gave Librewolf a chance. A lot of the corporate cruft/AI-adjacent stuff is removed, it’s not just a reskin with adblock. It’s a holistically better browser experience.

Edit: removed unintentional double negative

I'm running Libre, it's my main, but can't use my webflashers, the support in google meet, sound and screen sharing is crap.

It's not a simple thing that I like chrome. A great deal of crap i need for work demands it.

And then I end up on Brave because I'm running a bunch of Manifest V2 plugins.

Also, firefox can't seem to get anti-fingerprinting right. Noone wants to be ready to lie and randomize data but brave.

I simply want to stop using brave as my second browser, I don't even want it installed, but I'm stuck with it.

Funny you say that because some sites just don't work in librewolf, which is because it is protecting you, but still adds to friction.
