LibreWolf is literally just the FireFox build, with the telemetry & adware ripped out, and ublock origin and similar preinstalled. (I suspect people that downvoted me above assume I am shilling some commercial browser and just don't know what LW is) I ran into a problem with Video Download Helper, it installs a co-app that had "~/.firefox" hardcoded in a script. I changed that to point to LibreWolf and it worked. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] self@awful.systems 4 points 11 months ago (1 child) I suspect people that downvoted me above assume I am shilling some commercial browser and just don’t know what LW is lol no permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] blakestacey@awful.systems 6 points 11 months ago Perhaps, one day, someone will talk about "the people that downvoted me" without sounding like a total goober.
