Ditching Firefox for Librewolf is not a solution. Librewolf is just a fork Firefox. If Firefox wouldn't exist anymore, neither does Librewolf.
It definitely isn't a solution to any wider problems, but for my needs it's the best gecko-based browser.
It seems like a fork to me.

Also, the "patches" consist in the removal of telemetry, which again be disabled in the settings or through the about:config.
A browser needs an high amount of money an people working on it, it's not sometimes that can be done by a few individuals. Forks of Firefox are alive because Firefox is alive. No Firefox , no forks.
