If anyone tried Librewolf previously and found it too restrictive, I changed 2 settings that were game changers for me. I disabled fingerprint blocking and installed canvas blocker instead. Then I enabled Mozilla sync. Bam, perfect web browser for me at least.

Ya I also use librewolf and I find it fairly intuitive to start at a more hardened place and enable convenience as needed. Though these days I find most sites work great even with full fingerprint protection.

I have to disable the fingerprinting because it fucks up time detection. Like if I look at sports schedules it has me in a radically different time zone. Canvas blocker doesn’t cause that problem for me.
