  • Reports of its death are GREATLY exaggerated. I would suggest continuing to simply use firefox and disable any future crap you don’t prefer.

    That said librewolf which is intended to be firefox with stronger privacy settings by default that said

    • Default settings break more websites
    • You have to get extensions manually from for instance github because it doesn’t use mozillas addon (it can probably be enabled)
    • It doesn’t use the built in password manager which is in fact privacy preserving so you have to enable it or use something else
    • you don’t get syncing via firefox sync which is in fact already privacy preserving so you have to enable it if you want it
    • It doesn’t remember cookies without manually adding an exception to each site this is extremely obnoxious. I’m sure its configurable though

    At this time it is far easier to disable the few things that may be undesired from firefox vs turning librewolf into an acceptable option.
















  • Why is it even morally reprehensible? If you you blow the guts out and faces off Russian soldiers by more traditional means they are just as dead and if dozens of Ukrainians die in the course of digging the Russians out of cover do you account that a superior outcome? If so how?

    If a burglar strode into your home with a gun and you believed that conflict was inevitable how much risk and or suffering would you tolerate from your wife and children in order to decrease the chance of harm or suffering by the burglar? Would you accept a 3% chance of a dead kid in order to harm instead of kill the burglar? Would you take a 1% in order to decrease his suffering substantially?

    My accounting is that there is no amount of risk or harm I would accept for me and mine to preserve the burglar’s life because he made his choice when he chose to harm me and mine. I wouldn’t risk a broken finger to preserve his entire life nor should I. That said should he surrender I would turn him over to the police. I should never take opportunity to hurt him let alone execute him. Should I do this I would be the villain no matter what had transpired before because I would be doing so out of emotional reaction I wouldn’t be acting any longer to preserve me or mine.

    We should expect Ukrainians to take any possible advantage for in doing so they preserve innocent life. Preserving the lifes or preventing the suffering of active enemies presently actively trying to do harm is nonsensical.
