    I know I’ll get flak for this, but I am sticking with FireFox, because it saves my passwords.

      You can switch to WaterFox and it seamlessly uses the FireFox sync to use all your passwords. Very easy drop in replacement.

      I’d recommend switching to something like Bitwarden for your passwords so you can take them with you and also switch your stuff around if you ever want to

        You CAN export them. I migrated to Ff from Chrome a while back.

          You can, and they sync with your Mozilla account. I had your reasoning when using Microslop Edge and Microslop Authenticator. I set up Bitwarden now and while it’s not perfect, I do prefer to have full control of my passwords.

            I’m going to start my own password software and call it PassWizard. I think that’s a good name.

            EDIT: Ah, shit. It’s already taken.

        it’s got settings

        Well yeah, Librewolf is basically nothing but settings.

        Firefox settings.

        Confuses me no end when people rage against Mozilla and then recommend a product that cannot exist without Mozilla.

      I’ve been using Librewolf for some months now. You can migrate your Firefox profile into Librewolf, that’s what I did and it retained my passwords. I’m not very tech savvy but it does have some kinks, my browser clock is off I’ve tried tinkering with it but gave up. And especially with the Resist Fingerprinting enabled it seems to not retain my 2 factor id for sites when I ask it to remember me.
