I used it very briefly. Doesn't it depend on the groups you join? There could also be horrible stuff in Facebook groups, WhatsApp groups, Telegram groups, etc.
Of course, there needs to be a way to report that type of content, and the platform should be held accountable for hosting/disseminating the reported content if it doesn't remove it. It's just that I don't think that banning access to a general platform is the right move.
see simon's comment under my original comment and my reply, regarding passwords/sync
Yes, it will copy everything related to that profile. The passwords are stored in the key4.db file so it shouldn't be copied in that situation.
Then there's also the sync feature which might import the passwords even if the file has been deleted, so the sync needs to be disabled on the work pc.
In the "olden" times, should have parents vetoed the usage of Usenet/forums/AIM/mIRC/ICQ/etc. just because horrible stuff could have been shared there?
Additionally, should parents monitor everything their kids do? Other than the privacy/lack-of-trust implications, not everybody has the time/ability/energy to do that
Copying the profile folder should do it
You should also copy profiles.ini (which indicates the path of the working/available profiles)
Generally speaking, this should also work for other forks, but it might depend on which versions the forks are based on. If they are too behind the version that the profile is from then there might be "forwards compatibility" issues, for example in the way specific files/databases are structured (but maybe not, this is just a guess).
Also note that since forks tend to have different default values for some settings then if you didn't explicitly set them through a user.js file or directly in prefs.js (or another method) then you would get the default from the fork instead of the one from the main version.
The pressure to review thousands of horrific videos each day – beheadings, child abuse, torture – takes a devastating toll on our mental health
What could be a solution for dealing with that? I wouldn't want to be exposed to that type of content even if I was paid to do so and had access to health support to deal with the aftermath every time.

I remember hearing about a similar experiment from the 70's in Canada

I love the serendipitous use of kindergarten, with it being of German origin :)
I fear that this will be used as a pretense to have a Real ID tied to all of your online accounts, and that it will be publicly facing.
And then if people come to your house after you share a wrongthink, or if part of who you are clashes with "the good ole days", well then that's just an unintended but necessary evil, so sit down and shut up.
