Librewolf’s defaults are so bad, and changing them basically entirely removes the anti fingerprinting features

- it’s fucking Chromium
Go use some Firefox-derivative like Librewolf or Fennec, like a sane person.

Never used librewolf.
But it sounds like the conveniences you want are a compromise for fingerprinting.Don’t let perfect stand in the way of good.
The internet has been significantly ruined by large companies.
There is a loop where companies with the resources to create and maintain frameworks/tooling/whatever are large enough to help define “features” for browsers.
Browsers don’t make money, not really. To even be considered, they have to be able to run what the big companies are pushing.
All of this makes it very easy for smaller companies to deliver better websites. Or abuse the features big companies are pushing.It’s like: email was awesome, then spam emails happened. Websites were accessible, then SPAs happened. Search engines were useful, the scraping/AI happened.
I don’t know what I am trying to say.
Other than browsers do not get the support they deserve to actually be decent unless they are backed by a company that wants to loss-lead them… Which has resulted in the web being pretty fucked

No, go use Google Chrome like everyone else.

Yeah, this is important. Fuck Google. I will only ever use a chromium browser if I have to for work or for a misbehaving website.

I will reject the misbehaving website rather than resort to using Chromium.

Occasionally though, life requires using a shit website. I do avoid it if possible though

Your attitude is very reasonable. I strive to be as unreasonable as I can.

I don’t know enough about browsers to really know anything about chromium. But I did see a statement from Google which I believe stated that they were removing support for adblockers from chromium based browsers. It was at that point that I decided I did want to continue having a usable browsing experience, and immediately swapped.
