In light of Mozilla’s recent policy changes, we no longer feel assured that Firefox aligns with our commitment to protect your privacy. This prompted us to revisit the choice of default web browser in Zorin OS 17.3.

Doesn't Librewolf log you out of every site when you close it, by default? I don't think that's a good default

    That is the default behaviour, but it's pretty trivial to change. Also, I'd imagine the distro maintainer could choose to change the default settings as part of a post-install script, if they wanted to.

    Edit: Not sure why you're being downvoted, as I do think it's a valid concern.

    It has to be the default tho, bc the whole point of Librewolf is that it's trying to by default be untraceable and private.

    It's very easy to disable that and re-enable cookies and the like, but your default experience will fundamentally be private, which is its goal

    That's not the only point though. IIRC, they also remove telemetry, and pocket as well as some other things. I personally turn back on persistent sessions and history, but leave all the other privacy features there.
