This is important information but it really should be compared to google chrome, safari, edge, and Firefox default settings, which are all bad for privacy, and when combined, make up 99% of browsers.

This article is written like everyone already knows how to install and use librewolf.

As someone who swapped to chrome > chromium > ungoogled-chromium > brave > firefox > librefox and then back to brave....? Idk, it feels like theres no such thing as a "perfect browser" and that all browsers has a some sort of "anti-consumerism" built-in that we are (still) not aware about.

I switched from Brave to Vivaldi.

I was having issues with a web app after a Brave update, so I went to check the changelog to see what might have caused it. It was 100% crypto/nft shit in the change log.

That's not what I need/want from a web browser.
