Do you use any forks instead of default Firefox? If yes, which ones and why?

Librewolf was a candidate I would have installed and tried, but its missing a feature: it does not have builtin support for passwords.

I always disable password management by Firefox, but I noped out of LibreWolf because it doesn't allow users to block all cookies and then whitelist domains for cookies.

I suspect what a lot of people want is a custom version of Firefox with the garbage surgically removed before compile; where the opt-in options still exist for:

  • browser-kept passwords,
  • browser-kept payment details,
  • blocking cookies,
  • whitelisting cookie domains,
  • crash reports,
  • remote changes between updates,
  • scanning everything you download for danger,
  • scanning every site you go to for danger,
  • etc. .
