@batkaren “I told my agent I wanted to play the Cylon on Ragnaro*K*, not get named after a former Van Halen frontman!
“‘But no,’ he said, ‘Badger dogs can’t play irksomely appealing robot-human hybrids; it’s too confusing for the audience!,’ he said…
“‘But don’t worry,’ he said, ‘You’ll come outta this with a *great* IRA…’”
“That’s when I fired him. Then, outta the blue, the Westminster people called, and the rest is history!”

Sadly, we must live in the apocalypse we’re dealt, never the one we desire. -
I think I'd like to try LibreWolf.@afreytes UPDATE: I *have* now tried LibreWolf's official install instructions onto Debian bases, and it worked flawlessly on QEMU installs of both Linux Mint 22.3 beta & LMDE 7.
Regarding Waterfox instead, you do you. On AOSP, Waterfox is as close to un-en-💩-ified Firefox as I can find or personally stand, though DuckDuckGo Browser can be a close second for some things. I personally wish LibreWolf were available on more platforms (Android/AOSP, iOS, wasn't about to lose developer signing on macOS because Apple 🙄).
But yes, LibreWolf can certainly seem a little inflexible/scorched earth when you first start with it, and if you have to tweak it to give it the flexibility you want, isn't that kinda removing its security?
Yes and no, but I totally get not wanting to get into the fray of tweaking LibreWolf to work exactly as you want and yet worrying therefore about security and/or it maybe not looking then quite like you want it to; Waterfox is pretty good and is definitely configurable enough (they all are, but how gets into the weeds).
I personally don't love the redirect from waterfox.net to waterfox.com (dunno whether that means they mean to run it more as a company than any other sort of open-source project). I also don't love that the only command line way to install it is by leaving not just the `git` command, but Microslop-farmed GitHub's own `gh` command, installed on your system. But at least functionally, WaterFox is (and DuckDuckGo Browser, and LibreWolf are) *so* much better than what Mozilla's been churning out, lo these many versions/CEOs.

I think I'd like to try LibreWolf.Re-read: it looks on https://www.waterfox.com/releases/6.6.7/ like the developer has verified the Flatpak, so that should be safe for testing. I don’t see a good way to install it via apt though… yet.
The closest the developer seems to currently get is GitHub CLI (the `gh` command), which I’m personally not into investigating. But you might find you like it that way. 🤷 -
