LibreWolf is a Firefox fork hardened for privacy. I suggest to disable the cookie and history deletion for it to be more usable. It has a more tradicional UI than Zen.
Thanks for the info. I’ve seen Librewolf recommended a lot but also found a lot of threads of “normies” complaining it was a pain to use daily. I’ll give it a spin!
It needs a bit of fine tuning for daily use, but it's nothing cryptic: If you don't want to save all cookies, then you gotta add exception to sites you want to stay connected to (unless you are ok with having to login every time you enter a site). I think saving history is disabled by default, and this is quite inconvenient. You also gotta allow saving passwords if you want the browser to have them.
I use 1Password so I’m guessing Librewolf handles Firefox extensions? Should be fine there.
I don’t mind logging in every time actually, but yeah I can take a look at those settings.
Yes, Librewolf runs Firefox extensions just fine.
Oh, before "setting in", test out all the sites you need to use regularly, because of its hardened fingerprinting protection webgl and webgpu are disable, also canvas and other scripts, and I believe they completely stripped the browser DRM checks, so some streaming services won't work as well.
