My claim was that the advertised "hardening" all works through their default settings - for Firefox. Which of the patches in https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source/src/branch/main/patches *do* have an actual hardening effect with regard to the advertised security benefits or actually *add* a security feature rather than enabling features that Firefox already provides, as a default? > Look at the source repo for LibreWolf, from git, and you'll see all the patching > plus bootstrapping they do. I did. I have yet to find something that improves security, though I'm far from an expert and will be happily convinced otherwise. What I see is a lot about rebranding, fixing the consequences of rebranding, bundling UBlock Origin, building the rebranded result, and extending the settings UI to change some of the knobs that Librewolf is tweaking. I *do* agree that it would *not* be a good idea to pull all of that into the Firefox port. I do not, however, see the point in Librewolf when I look past the marketing and into what it actually does. But then of course, that's just my personal opinion. cheers, Volker
