As a libreworlf user, I'd have to advise some caution to regular users. A lot of sites are broken as images won't load and "fancier" web apps don't work super well either. Yes it's an easy fix, but expecting someone to go look in the config files to get an image to load is too much for a lot of people

I haven't experienced this behavior. Can you provide a URL for me to test against.

Same. No issues at all.

Open netflix. Even with a lot of features turned off and DRM enabled, it will regularly fail to load any content.

And, yes, the general user will want sites like netflix to work.

Weird, app.plex.tv, emby client, jellyfin client, netflix.com, and prime video at https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ are all currently working for me. Can you share your LibreWolf config? Maybe I can help you fix it.

That's why I recommend Waterfox instead to non technical users
