Firefox. Librewolf's defaults make it very inconvenient to use as a normal, day to day web browser. You can obviously change all of that but at that point you might as well just use Firefox with a handful of add-ons so that's what I'm doing.

I just changed my browsing habits. Frankly I've also realized having the internet be less convenient has made me more mentally healthy

My issue isn't that it's breaking sites. It's the fingerprint resistance making the basic user experience unpleasant. Refusing to remember window size, forcing light mode, etc. I understand why, but those aren't sacrifices I'm willing to make.

You can disable those and get CanvasBlocker to still have some degree of protection (not as much, though)

Yeah those are the browsing adjustments I had to make. though I changed the window sizing to be letter boxing. After that I left it alone. Plus the resetting of all the cookies and cached data

Are those really that bad? From my experience most sites work fine

The only librewolf default I find inconvenient is no persistent cookies. I just disable deleting cookies when I close the browser and the other defaults ive not touched. Other than some Firefox defaults I don't like the behaviour of, but none of the librewolf-specific defaults.

Try Floorp.

It is Firefox based and with additional features. I find it easier to use than the default Librewolf

It has its own problems. Check the licensing
