As the title suggests. I want community opinions on the Arc browser.

    A Firefox fork is fine. LibreWolf in particular picks up the pieces Mozilla keeps throwing everywhere, and then makes the browser much more private.

        Librewolf gives you options, and if you don’t want to toggle them on, you’re free to do so. I vehemently disagree with your analysis and I believe the protection that Librewolf provides should be considered bare-minimum in this age. This should be the default browser, not Firefox

          These do sound like they are enabled by default though, hence the breakage?

          If websites work with them, sure. But if they don’t, try explaining that to your grandma.

        If you think so, the extra features can be disabled from the settings, because LW added an extra section for them too… No hunting through about:config.
