I still find it interesting that the Vanadium browser in Grapheneos is Chromium based, with no possibility of extensions. I know this is for security reasons but it feels odd to still use chrome on my phone and Firefox everywhere else.

Whats the advantage of Waterfox over librewolf?

[–] xnx@slrpnk.net 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Better defaults for the average user who isn’t looking for maximum privacy

[–] CarbonBasedNPU@lemm.ee 2 points 16 hours ago

fair enough makes sense. LibreWolf is real strict about it.

eh? no idea, never used it. these downvotes are wild to me. is waterfox bad somehow?

[–] stardust@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know either. This one of those cases I wish people would elaborate, since I don't know much about waterfox so would welcome more insight into it.

[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 3 points 15 hours ago

in the early days, waterfox was simply a fork of firefox that provided 64bit support when the official builds didn’t. since then i’ve kept using it since it seems like firefox with better default settings for me. between 2019 and 2023 waterfox was owned by an advertising agency although they exerted no control over the software as far as i can tell, and everything remained open source. maybe some peoples info is outdated and they don’t know that the partnership ended 2 years ago. sorry for bad formatting i’m on mobile.
