I need extensions way too much to use something built from scratch, so as Firefox joins the enshittification bandwagon, what’s the best Firefox-based browser I should check out?

    Just as a warning, LibreWolf inherently messes with the browser time zone as a key aspect of its programming, so if you schedule videos for publication (for example), they’ll publish at a way different time. Seeing how there was no way to easily turn off its time zone obfuscation was what reverted me to Waterfox. It can also mess with scheduled messages or timestamps in chat apps.

      Thanks for posting this! I use WhatsApp Web, so seems like this may cause me problems…

        You can revert the timestamp to normality but the process is convoluted and I don’t remember it as I only found our after uninstalling it.
