Trying to move away from FireFox.
I know that there is LibreWolf and GNU IceCat.
What are the pros and cons for each?
I tried GNU IceCat and I don’t know how to install extensions. How to get extensions for GNU IceCat? Is it easier on LibreWolf?
I need the following extensions:
- ublock origin
- send to MPV player
- privacy badger
- Distraction free youtube
- Unhook
- LeechBlock NG
- Privacy Badger
- Tab Session Manager
- KeePassXC-Browser
I just recently switched to LibreWolf from Firefox. It’s one of the easiest software transitions I’ve ever made. It really is just Firefox without Mozilla’s recent bad decision making.
Thank you.
I see that I have to add an extra repo for Debian. That’s my only hesitation towards it atm.
Perhaps a dumb question but why do you consider this a bad thing?
Should I consider it a bad thing??
They’re probably just trying to be minimalist
Yes. This is it. I want, as much as possible, to use packages from the main Debian repos.
That really depends on the quality of the repo.
It’s not a bad thing.
It’s that I’d prefer if it was in the Debian repos. There’s an advantage to having all your packages come from one tested and trusted source. There are of course downsides to this approach namely, this kind of situation where there’s something new but not in the main repos.
what about flatpaks/snaps?
I’ve used flatpaks. I’ve never used snaps (I don’t want to support proprietary Canonical stuff). I prefer getting stuff from the Debian repo.
