Sure, but what about in 2 years from now?

I used IronFox for a couple years and it suddenly stopped getting updates, and it took me a few months to realize and switch to something else. I don't want that to happen again.

I like the idea of librewolf, especially that it's just a patch set on top of Firefox, but someone needs to maintain that patch set. This would be fine for simpler software, but browsers are complex and I just worry that updates will stall out with little warning.

as I understand their build system is automatic. updates are not, but they have an update checker companion thing, and flathub too can manage that if you install from there
