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. .
