Switched to LibreWolf browser

Been trying various browsers the past month. I have been really trying to get away from anything Google related, which eliminates quite a few browser options (Vivaldi, Opera, Brave, and obviously Chrome) and while I am not a huge fan of Gecko (Firefox) I decided to give a browser based on that a shot.

It’s called LibreWolf. It uses Gecko rather than Chromium and removes/changes a lot of Mozilla telemetry and integration. The install on Debian 13 was simple, it is clean, familiar and so far, renders pretty much every site I use/visit with no issues. Bookmark import from Brave was a piece of cake, installing extensions (so far I have just installed my Proton Pass extension) was smooth sailing, and setting up a default profile (in case I want to sync later) was easy.

So for right now, it is my default browser on my Debian 13 desktop.
