In light of Mozilla’s recent policy changes, we no longer feel assured that Firefox aligns with our commitment to protect your privacy. This prompted us to revisit the choice of default web browser in Zorin OS 17.3.

    It has to be the default tho, bc the whole point of Librewolf is that it’s trying to by default be untraceable and private.

    It’s very easy to disable that and re-enable cookies and the like, but your default experience will fundamentally be private, which is its goal

      That’s not the only point though. IIRC, they also remove telemetry, and pocket as well as some other things. I personally turn back on persistent sessions and history, but leave all the other privacy features there.

        I did as well.

        My point is just that it makes sense to be the default in that browser given its inclination towards privacy.

      Ok but like, that makes a terrible default for Zorin OS users. They’re gonna be confused and think it’s some hot garbage
