    the version you get from mozilla.org has proprietary software contained within, similar to how linux usually ships with proprietary drivers, you can get librewolf for a fully free/libre and open source version of firefox

      I think the proprietary DRM bits are only downloaded after the user agrees to it on a DRM enabled website.

        i don’t know about drm but there are proprietary blobs inside the firefox installation itself (especially if you are on w*ndows)

        1. you are straight up wrong

        2. even if firefox was the same as mozilla firefox, librewolf would still be firefox without proprietary software, just actually look into the repo you linked

          you are straight up wrong

          then you can show me exact line of code in patches where librewolf removes “proprietary software”?

            but you truly have no idea what you are talking about, librewolf uses “raw firefox”, not the proprietary filled mozilla version of firefox.
