Optimised for peak performance? Are there benchmarks to back this up?

Edit - their docs have benchmarks. They do not appear to have comparative benchmarks

edit - lol amazing

Their privacy is better than regular Firefox due to disabling telemetry etc, but librewolf does way more to protect against fingerprinting. The browser itself is quite good, although it shows that it’s in early development. Also I disabled send a do not track signal as it is used for fingerprinting

I like it so far. The weakness seems to be the size of the dev team and if the project has a future. Hopefully they are planning accordingly.

I went through a handful of threads and it seems mostly positive so far. One choice I wasn't sure about was that they're considering having a built in adblocker (based on something that's not ublock origin). I would prefer if the browser just shipped with ublock origin instead.

As far as privacy focused browsers go, Mull Mullvad Browser seems to be the best still. I was exploring Zen for my day to day browser.

I've been using it for about a week, both at work and at home, and I must say that it is great. It is nearly everything that I wanted from a browser. Especially since it is based on Firefox.

I've been so happy with it, that I even donated to the project.

Floorp is literally running with tons of optimizations and is shifting to the standard FF release instead of long term support build in their next major release. The optimizations though are like front and center, and it has TONS of privacy toggles and features.

That comparison is... Self serving let's say.

This looks like it good be a great replacement for Floorp. Thanks for sharing!

Idk much about the privacy features, but I've been using it for the past day and it's way faster and better optimised then floorp.

nobody uses iceweasel? For those who don't know, it is the version of firefox cleaned up by non ‘libre’ code mainly from debian and then taken over by parabola linux. For me it is the best together with mullvad.

Tried it a bit yesterday on Windows. Opened a Github link in it and Windows Defender killed the app saying it was a threat. Definitely a false positive but seemed odd to see the entire app just die instantly, lol.

I’ve checked it out, and it looks really good, sort of like arc browser. It’s very stylish, and since it’s Firefox-based, supports ublock origin. It’s obviously not finished yet though, so I’ll stay on Floorp until it reaches beta or stable. I’m totally switching once it gets there

Actually quite stoked about this as it boasts those librewolf privacy features while having a UI similar to Arc. Can’t wait for it to exit Alpha

I was daily driving it but started crashing after an update. I'll be getting back to it tho, I'm sure there has been like 4 updates in the last 24 hours...

More fox the merrier. We have Icecat, Iceweasel, Palemoon, Librewolf, Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser... I'm sure I'm missing many more for desktop.

Well, there is no native .deb package and "There is no plan for official .deb pkg".

I love options but does anybody else wish devs would put their heads together and focus on improving ONE app rather than launch a millon similar forks?

Are they based on Firefox ESR? That made me quit Floorp, it was pretty disappointing to be on a legacy reskin of Firefox.
