    The LibreWolf Debian repository was down all of last week. I peeked over at their forum and it looks like the team is really struggling to maintain the project since a key member left. Its struggles to keep up with security updates is why its no longer being recommended by Privacy Guides. I’m trying out Mullvad browser right now to see how it fairs

      Hey can you link me to a source where it shows that privacy guides doesn’t recommend it due to security updates slowing down? I cannot find it.

      I was going to use mullvad browser instead, however it wants you to use DoH. If you turn it off, you’re now fingerprintable. This is rough since i use network filter tools and it’ll bypass it if i use doh. So i was gonna try librewolf.

          Thanks. I looked through this and a few threads. It seems like they did lose a key member. But it also seems like they’ve kept up with Firefox security updates, which is the most important part. It’s still concerning though but it seems perfectly fine to use. What do you think?

          As for mullvad browser, like i said, I’d use that but unfortunately I can’t use DoH which is rhe default in that browser. It will bypass my network filtering.

      Oh no, that’s sad to hear. Society really needs to start doing more clever decisions. A project like Librewolf could be so incredibly useful for most of people. Somehow should find a way to foster those efforts.
