    Not sure about the health of librewolf either, this thread suggests it’s 3 overworked parttimers unable to keep up

    “Hey all, I’m on the LibreWolf team, and it’s true that since the departure of @fxbrit the project has taken a total nosedive when it comes to keeping up to date with Arkenfox and settings in general. We’re still making releases, but settings did not get updated.”

    “As @threadpanic said, since fxbrit left we have been in a kind of “maintenance” mode in terms of settings. Mainly because we are really only three people left”

    “LW since fxbrit left/died/who-knows has gone to shit - I worked with him behind the scenes to make the right choices and while he would do his own analysis, we always agreed, and his voice influenced them. Now they don’t know what they are doing, and in fact have compromised security and make really stupid decisions. Same goes for all the other forks - really dubious shit going”

    I use mullvad browser as it’s maintained by mullvad and tor project and avoid stuff like Zen/floorp completely

    I’ve switched from librewolf to mullvad browser, it is tor browser minus the tor network.

    In other words it makes all its users have the same fingerprint so that they can blend together. This is much more effective at detetring tracking than simply hiding or randomizing details like librewolf does.

    In this thread the arkenfox Dev goes as far to say “PS: long term I am hoping we can retire arkenfox (I can’t speak for LW) and just use MB - but they’re just a little too divergent for now”

    Other options (besides tor browser) are librewolf or Arkenfox, no other firefox forks are reputable from a security/privacy perspective
