I think the best alternative would be LibreWolf
I’m not going to watch a fucking YouTube video. I’m getting more and more triggered over videos with some influencer on YouTube…
Information like this is much better suited as text, because then I don’t have to watch some person blabbering on…
I blame people’s shorter attention spans for it, to a degree I’m also guilty of it. Can’t read a book nowadays before my focus shifts somewhere else.
I felt this too and it was scary as hell. It means my brain chemistry has changed for the worse.
After sticking with it and forcing myself to read, it became better after a few weeks.
Stop social media, give it a week and you read 900 pages like it’s nothing again.
Not by default, but then most Firefox recommendations are not made with the default settings in mind. Given that context, yes it is actually as privacy friendly as everyone says.
I think Firefox is still the best option, you just need to change and disable the about:config things to remove the tracking and ads stuff.

Privacy-friendly Firefox is called Tor Browser.
Maybe. On the other hand, it’s much more privacy-friendly than that guy says.
Librewolf
Maintaining a browser is a huge endeaver. Using some random browser that is maintained by a a lone person or maybe even a handful of developers basically guarantees that the whole thing is insecure. This is especially true when keeping functionality around that was removed in the “main” browser to improve security there. One example is the old plugin system that firefox replaced with a more secure one with less hooks into the core engine, breaking some old plugins.
Stay with mainstream browsers folks and install some plugins to improve them that way. At least you get patches asap.
Librewolf updates all the time, probably weekly (I don’t watch it that closely).
