I uninstalled Firefox this morning after reading about these sus af changes.
Tried Librewolf and found it to be great,
- No Pocket bullshit.
- I forgot I had the start page set to blank only because Firefox was fixed on ruining it while forbidding using a custom one.
Migrating took me 20m, and I'm glad I did it because it left be a backup of something that so far only Mozilla kept for me.
- Exporting/Importing bookmarks takes 20s. (Ctrl-Shift-o, export/import).
- Exporting passwords is simple (Preferences, search for passwords. Alternatively just go to about:logins).
- I had many extensions to install, but the ones that need heavy customisation all had export/import. Migrating passwords was easy through a (totally not safe) csv file.
- The only troublesome extension was Video Download Helper, but after re-running `vdhcoapp install` I figured I just needed to copy `~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/` into `~/.librewolf/`.
I'm kind of stuck with Android. I don't know of an alternative, but haven't spent time looking for one yet.
