Trying to move away from FireFox.

I know that there is LibreWolf and GNU IceCat.

What are the pros and cons for each?

I tried GNU IceCat and I don't know how to install extensions. How to get extensions for GNU IceCat? Is it easier on LibreWolf?

I need the following extensions:

  • ublock origin
  • send to MPV player
  • privacy badger
  • Distraction free youtube
  • Unhook
  • LeechBlock NG
  • Privacy Badger
  • Tab Session Manager
  • KeePassXC-Browser

I personally prefer Librewolf or Abrowser over IceCat, but if you can get IceCat to work then great.

You should be able to get extensions from the Mozilla Add-Ons Store. Failing that, the GNU Project has Mozzarella.

On Android, I would only recommend IronFox. It's available on GitLab, Accrescent, Obtainium, and F-Droid (third-party repo).

I really like the play on words GNU did with Mozzarella.

Thank you for the links!
