Librewolf is not exactly a fork. It is a autoconfig file for firefox (which is a firefox feature). https://codeberg.org/librewolf/settings/raw/branch/master/librewolf.cfg It's not a solution.
this actually makes me more likely to use it.
I doubt implementation of terms will be optional.
Thanks for the pointer. As I said, I need to spend a good chunk of time reviewing exactly what they've done before I feel confident enough to depend on it. A simple reconfiguration of stock Firefox that I am confident does not phone home is likely good enough for me in the short term.
If you have a better solution though, please let us know what it is.
Only blocking will achieve this fully.
What I use is Firefox with config (similar to librewolf) + blocking using privoxy. I've been using this for a long time. However I'm no longer confident this is sufficient.
