I’m currently using Librewolf primarily, as it has good out of the box privacy settings. I really just added Ublock Origin on top of it. I’ve recently seen another uptick in Zen recommendations though, and I must admit that I like the UI. I’m sure it has worse defaults than Librewolf, so what are the things I should probably apply and what extensions should I download for some extra privacy?

And is the browser even any good beyond the initial impression?

    Ublock is added by default to librewolf, unless you installed it in an unconventional way.

    When it comes to zen I haven’t really seen a compelling reason for it. I care about privacy more than functionality, but I don’t really want to go about hardening a whole new browser.

    I have found that using PWAs with librewolf as the engine is very in lign with my mental image of how to run things.

    It’s currently my daily driver, seems to work fine. Though on my macbook, I can’t move the address bar to anything other than the sidebar. Not sure why (I think I just found out how to do that, in the settings, but I’ll have to check tomorrow evening, when I’m back home if my hunch is true). On my windows laptop no such issue.
