After I noticed Firefox has removed the Pocket branding but kept the Pocket stories, I also noticed the settings screen on the homepage no longer lets you disable sponsored stories or links.

Firefox 115:

Firefox 139:

You can still remove these advertisements, but you have to leave the homepage and dig through the settings to find that option.

Which one do you recommend and why?

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Librewolf and Waterfox are good.

Librewolf is the best IMO. If u want persistent logins u gotta go change the sheetings not to wipe everything tho.

Note that for me Librewolf breaks several sites, sadly

I've found u they aren't broken if u spoof a chromium user agent

Swap for mullvad in those cases

Waterfox isn't bad. https://www.waterfox.net/

I like floorp, it's very customisable!
