LW v100.0 released

LW is hardened FF. If FF cannot do it then LW won't be able to do it unless you disable ResistFingerprinting

That's what I thought But sometimes there are differences, like Waterfox is based on Firefox yet can use both Firefox and Chrome extensions. I thought it best to ask just in case.

What makes this browser better (for privacy oriented users) than usual Firefox ? Couldn't I just apply these settings in Firefox and have the same browser ?

Most settings can be switched off, like studies and pocket, and most telemetry, that's true. But there is a difference between having things like that switched off, which may or may not be revert to being enbles with every update, and having the code for those kind of things completely removed. Firefox seems to be using more and more telemetry laterly, and that's not a good direction. Also, I find the "about
references#librewolf" settings very useful.

Not that I know of, unless you wanted to make a script to replace your prefs.js file. But even that might not work. It's best to just use librewolf.

Installed Libre yesterday, not tried it for a long time, very impressed with it & easy setup - I'm using it now & apart from a little lag on some parts of a web page I really like it, my intention to keep it on

It's a more hardened version of Firefox but do they do anything different or keep anything from older days? Like for instance the irritating bookmark menu which FF changed to include a space between each bookmark entry. Many people seemed to hate that small change but doesn't matter to the God's at Mozilla.
