What else does it apart from rebranding firefox and getting ad revenue?

[–] Andromxda 58 points 1 year ago (8 children)

It has a few privacy features, some themes, some other stuff. Nothing significant. It kinda became popular lately, and some people started using it. But now it's proprietary, so I wouldn't use it anymore. LibreWolf is much better and open source.

Are there any benefits to using LibreWolf if I'm alrrady using Arkenfox?

[–] Andromxda 21 points 1 year ago

Not really, I just find LibreWolf much easier to install. I don't want to mess around with downloading and copying Firefox profiles every time.
