I don't really see a point in using LibreWolf. It's basically just standard Firefox with a few settings changed and an adblock installed. You can do the same thing with standard Firefox in 5 minutes. I've encountered many performance issues while using it, but it might just be me. And also, I think I've heard there are some issues with updating it.

Once people have migrated to Linux and Open source software what reason exists to go back to Windows inside a VM ?
To use some shitty closed source 'free' software which better options exist

My main point is to just build a VM, doesn't really matter which OS it'll have but Windows 10 works best for me. While on a VM, you can basically tinker around all you want and download dodgy shit, and when you fuck something up you just restore the VM to the saved state.
