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.

Seriously, the whole thing with Firefox and their privacy policy is overblown. I understand the concerns, but people gotta chill.

Besides, there aren't good alternatives out there. The closest is Librewolf and even with that browser it's hard to work around all the problems that the increased security creates. I couldn't do half the shit I wanted to do when I tried it and abandonne altogether.

I keep hearing about these problems but I don't think I've seen any using LibreWolf for like...2y or so now? Something like that, long time using, no problems yet.

Is it like facebook or some other nightmare website I avoid like the plague that gives the problems? If it's news websites, well that's just news websites, archive is necessary.
