    Really hate how iOS has zero alternatives. Thanks apple for your stupid WebKit.

      There are some good iOS browsers.

      At the moment, I use Orion (from Kagi) and Narrow32. Quiche Browser is good, DuckDuckGo is fine.

      Discoverability on iOS is awful though. The store is just packed with SEO spam and corporate slop on top of all the passion projects or “benevolent” ones.

    As a heads up, Librewolf last I checked had issues with media involving DRM. Ergo, streaming services will throw a fit if you try using them on it. Not an issue if you don’t use any of course, and there may be ways around it, but worth knowing that it doesn’t work out of the box at least.

    I use Fennec in Android and Librewolf in Linux.

    Libre wolf needs a bit of tweaking at the begining but then works like charm.

      Tweaking in what sense? Like just default search engines and such, or is it about:config settings?

      I’m just curious.

        I had a thing that deleted everything every time I closed the browser… Like it reset i. I activated history and a few other normal stuff… Nothing in about:config.

        Also, in Gnome, I had to activate a permission to access user files in flatseal to work with gnome extensions

        Nothing special.

    Does librewolf or water fox have a mobile version that syncs tabs to desktop like official Firefox ?

    Why do so many people push changing browsers over using something like arkenfox? As far as I know, librewolf is essentially firefox with arkenfox preconfigured.

    While I understand that setting up a config is probably beyond the scope of your average browser user, I rarely even see the alternative mentioned. Nor do I rarely see people mention the downsides of using a downstream branch - mostly security updates potentially being late.

    If you use fennec on android, I think you can even just copy your config to your phone and have it working the same there.

    Any recommendations for iOS? I switched to Librewolf on my Linux pc and Fennec on my Android phone, but still have Firefox on my iPad. Looking for good alternatives.
