One problem with LibreWolf is that it has very weak security. The exact same goes for FF and other FF based browsers.
The Chromium monopoly sucks tho.
Edit: grammar. :p
What's this about weak security? Do you have something to read about that?
From the same author as one of the best linux hardening guides: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html
Whew, the cringe is immense from both sides in that post
a) I would have no idea who that person is if I hadn't seen this post today
b) I really don't see what the problem is with them being the mod of a couple of NSFW subs? Especially since they said they're all just jokes and basically empty?

I literally only read their linux hardening guide and that article on browsers. And both of them seemed me pretty good.
I might ignore their activities on social media tho. I'm reading the links right to help my ignorance.
Can you go into more detail about Librewolf having weak security? This is news to me.
Compared to Chromium.*
Not only LibreWolf but every FF based one.
You can check out this article since it explains it better than me: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html
While it's not about the most recent version most if not all of its points are still true.

@SrEstegosaurio @coldhotman why does it have weaker security than Chromium browsers?
Edit: saw this in the comments: madaidans-insecurities.github.…
Then get off the internet, none if it is secure.
Generally speaking is true that our security standars are incredibly low and that's becoming more and more dangerous as time goes. Even moreso in our hyper-digitalized society.
But I fail to understand what does that have to do with the fact that FF is less secure than Chromium. May you develop, please?
