Its hardened firefox, but you dont have to do any of the hardening yourself. Thats it, and thats why I continue to just use hardened firefox.
They pre-install ublock origin basically.
Oh nice, Can I still sync my Firefox account with it? Been looking for an alternative so I can use FF for both work and home.
Last time I checked it has the sync removed.
You can reenable that in the settings, but it's off by default. I use it everyday
Nice Ty. Can you share how to do it?
https://librewolf.net/docs/settings/#enable-firefox-sync
You set this in your overrides file or in about:config
You can also do it with the normal settings menu (about:preferences). The setting is called "Enable Firefox Sync" under the tab "LibreWolf". Might be a bit easier this way.
I use Fennec on Android because I can use desktop Firefox addons if I enable developer options and use my addon collection.
Well, Mull is more like a "Librewolf for Android", I (think) it is more privacy-focused than Fennec.
Mull also supports more extensions from developer options.
Check these out for Librewolf and Mull's results. Fennec isn't in the list (yet?)

I can't find it, is it on F-Droid? Play Store?
F-Droid
Do you have any anti-feature filtered?
Pro tip: change your user agent to linux
For what reason?
To promote linux
I like Mullvad Browser :3 Though, I turn off letterboxing because I can't hanle it.
