p.s. In case you missed it, LibreWolf has just created their own Fediverse account:

➑️ @librewolf

It's a fork of Firefox with emphasis on privacy, for example it comes bundled with the excellent uBlock Origin.

(Just edited it into the list above too, but not everyone notices the edits πŸ™‚ )

If you’re switching to #Firefox, remember Firefox is not private by default. Consider the #LibreWolf fork, which is. Otherwise, go into your settings and adjust its tracking features (like having #Google as the default search engine), turn off telemetry, β€œexperiments”, etc.

(Also, if you all switch and Google goes bankrupt, #Mozilla will go bankrupt too because they exist thanks to half a billion dollars a year from Google. So remember Google must survive for Mozilla to survive.)

I use fe.soapbox.pub on #Librewolf and it works just fine. πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ


Is there a way to get #LibreWolf to sync bookmarks with #Firefox? I realize that this somewhat defeats the purpose of using LibreWolf.
