With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

    Hello!

    It is based on Firefox, which means it is Firefox with some customizations. There are certain settings in Firefox that some would consider intrusive to privacy. For example, Firefox by default runs studies and collects anonymous data. While it is anonymous, some people just don’t like that. I don’t really know what they collect so I want to opt out. In Librewolf, this setting is turned off by default. The pocket is disabled in Librewolf. I know Firefox is free and I am glad that it exists, but I feel like it’s becoming a bloated Android version for Samsung phones with apps that you cannot remove and that just take up space for no reason.

    Does this make sense? Am I somewhat explaining?

      Yes, that helps quite a bit! Thank you!

      I don’t really like the Pocket feature, either. It’s nice to know there’s a version without that.
