Makes sense. But they change "just" the default settings, right? I would like to take over my existing profile if it works. To me it does not defeat the purpose, because I did a lot of custom tweaking to make it more private too. So from that perspective I am happy and that is not the reason why I change. I change because I'm fed up with the Ai integration of Firefox.
Edit: But maybe its also time for a fresh start from scratch. And rethink every detail again. I am very hesitant to make the switch right now... but it has to be done.
What about your profile, other than your bookmarks and cookies, do you want to keep?
LibreWolf is just a patch set for Firefox. The user settings are stored in the profile folder, so if you just copy your old profile over, you will overwrite most of LibreWolf's changes. The about:support page contains a list of your changed about:config settings, so copy those down and move them over to your new LibreWolf profile as needed.
Of course, you could also just disable the AI crap yourself in vanilla Firefox if you don't want to part with your current profile.
If you're comfortable with your current privacy settings (no desire for LW's hardened approach) and just want to ditch Mozilla corp, Waterfox is the fork for you.
