LibreWolf is not an alternative to chrome, it's a fork of FF. It won't run Chrome extensions... which chrome users would likely expect to be able to run.
For a Chrome alternative, I use Vivaldi (which is based in the EU)
As a Firefox alternative, I use Waterfox
LibreWolf is listed as an alternative web browser; not an alternative way to run Chrome extensions.
Similarly, listing Mint as an alternative to Windows is about having an alternative computer OS. It is not about having an alternative way to run your Windows apps.
And Lemmy is an alternative 'ranked forum' (or whatever you want to call this). It is not an alternative way to read reddit threads.
Firefox is always & will be an alternative to chrome
As far as I'm concerned, it's the other way around. FF was there first ;)
Any browser is an alternative to any other browser, IMO. They all have the same purpose.
But they can't run the same extensions, hence the fact that there is store for FF browsers and another one for chromium browsers. Since people can be very picky regarding their favorite extensions. So, suggesting some FF-based browser as an alternative to a Chromium-based one is the best way to disappoint quite a few potential users... for no good reason.
Like all computer or phone have the same purpose, still people will prefer one brand over the others, on even in one brand, one model of the other. Despite all of them being phones (or computers). Should we forbid people any choice because you consider it's not important in you use case?
Tbh people who care about their extensions is small (and loud) minority who most likely know how to search browser fitting for them without this chart.
If something works for 95% of people you dont need to cater for the rest.
What separates waterfox from firefox or librewolf?
