    Privacy Suggestions? Trying to get Browser Privacy to it's limits.

    RE: Librewolf. I don't have any performance issues with it at all.

    RE: Configuration.

    toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets

    Setting the above to true seems to help.

    RE: Firefox. I use the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine. Some tweaks have to be reapplied after an update although in some cases restoring a profile backup might help.

    As for Youtube. Forget it. Use an Invidious instance or else use FreeTube app.

    FreeTube - The Private YouTube Client
