      The real trick is to not install anything, because Firefox comes pre-installed on most Linux distros.

          Well, I wanted to express that it may differ between distros, but fair point that Firefox won’t be pre-installed on the server flavors of those distros.

          I think it’s just distros that choose if they pre-install Firefox, not DEs.

          KDE on Arch didn’t install Firefox, but Kubuntu came with Firefox the last time I installed it.

      I always thought apt and apt-get is the same thing so why type more when you can less?

      But then again, I’m a linux noob that only uses distros like Ubuntu.

      I also like the software center thing in Ubuntu because of GUI and… um… why do I see a bunch of people with pitchforks?

        apt is a newer tool that combines the functionality of apt-get and apt-cache. It’s not as backwards compatible but has a nicer more human readable output

      I’d never heard of librewolf until this. Why use it over firefox? Thought firefox was already privacy focused

      • Xylight (Photon dev)

        fedilink

        2•2 years ago

        Firefox actually has a lot of telemetry that’s opt-out rather than opt-in, and doesn’t have many privacy protections. Librewolf comes with ublock origin (which blocks trackers and annoyances as well as ads), has extreme fingerprinting protection, and has no google stuff out of the box.

        Great! Keep digging, keep asking the right questions and ultimately you will just collect enough reasons to simply not use any other browser, until something even better will appear.

        Firefox is the Firefox we all really need and LibreWolf is the Firefox we deserve.

        Firefox has telemetry and has become adware. Mozilla VPN ads pop up every once in a while. Sponsored bullshit on the home screen. Pocket integration with recommended/sponsored content. Mozilla’s becoming what it set out to destroy unfortunately.

        LibreWolf is Firefox without this garbage, plus more privacy focused defaults. Some of those defaults are rather extreme though so I recommend toning it back (such as deleting history/cookies after every session, and resist fingerprinting can screw up anything that displays time by not taking your time zone into account).

        It’s technically an invalid config (the extensions part), but other than that it’s using home manager.

        If your games are on Steam, check ProtonDB.

        If not, you’re probably out of luck, but check recent Search Engine results. Best to limit results to around last 6 months, otherwise you’ll probably get outdated information. Only a few bigger non-steam multiplayer shooters work, I can only think of Overwatch right now.
