From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It has to be the default tho, bc the whole point of Librewolf is that it's trying to by default be untraceable and private.
It's very easy to disable that and re-enable cookies and the like, but your default experience will fundamentally be private, which is its goal
Sigh. This is what makes you people bad designers.
That's not the only point though. IIRC, they also remove telemetry, and pocket as well as some other things. I personally turn back on persistent sessions and history, but leave all the other privacy features there.
I did as well.
My point is just that it makes sense to be the default in that browser given its inclination towards privacy.
Ok but like, that makes a terrible default for Zorin OS users. They're gonna be confused and think it's some hot garbage
Right. So perhaps Librewolf isn't a good choice for Zorin OS
