It erases your history every time you close it so it helps you sharpen your memory.
That's why I don't use password manager and learn every unique randomly generated 22-character password by memory. I can't remember my mother's name but at least I can log into myspace.
Thanks, now I know exactly how many characters there are in all of your passwords. This will greatly reduce the time to crack all your accounts on my potato laptop.
That is a Firefox setting. I use it on my phone.
That's.. one way to look at it.
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.
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?
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.
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.
