The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla's Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.

Librewolf is going to get very popular...

Never heard of that one, I was telling somebody the other day about IceWeasel. So there definitely are FF clones. Or I guess you could just compile Firefox yourself and remove the denylist portion of the code. Would be extra funny if they compiled a version specific for France (because why block sites for everybody else?) and put it next to the regular one on their website with text that said oh BTW if you're in France definitely only download this version, wink wink.

Librewolf is designed to be private and secure and is basicly hardened Firefox without telemetry

It's not basically Firefox, it's a fork with the settings already configured for privacy.
