LibreWolf is one of the best browsers for people who don't like generative AI.

Here is the statement posted on Mastodon:

As there seems to have been recent confusion about this, just a quick "official" toot to then pin: we haven't and won't support "generative AI" related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it "slipped through". As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.

I was so close to accept LibreWolf and finally make the switch from Firefox. But sadly LibreWolf does not support saving in Browser passwords. Its because of security concerns, I get it. But look, I want to save passwords in the browser. And sadly this killed LibreWolf for me.

How about using a password manager? I think KeePassXC is useful with its keyboard shortcuts.

Password managers
We suggest that you use a more robust solution than the built-in password manager available in the browser:

  • Bitwarden: open source password manager that allows for synchronization across multiple devices.
  • KeePassXC-Browser: official browser plugin for the open source password manager KeePassXC.

What root problem are you trying to solve that a password manager and browser extension doesn't fix?

In settings, turn on Firefox syncing, and boom! you have password saving.

I have Libre Wolf installed on my Linux machines, but never used it so far. Can you use it with a Mozilla account to sync bookmarks and passwords across devices? I send browser tabs from my Android phone to my desktop machine sometimes, that would be a QoL feature I'd be reluctant to give up.

Yep. It's off by default, but is the first thing I switch on when I first install Libewolf on any machines.

You end up with a classic FF experience without any of the bullshit.
