I can't tell you much about the pros and cons for each, however, when I look at the number of active contributors for each project, I'm not thrilled by either of their staying power.
Icecat has only a few active contributors. LibreWolf has <20.
Just to compare, Waterfox has over 5000 contributors.
LibreWolf (and Waterfox) install extensions the way Firefox does, so it's very easy. Waterfox does give you the option to sync with Firefox, so that might be a major benefit if you want the functionality.
You can also sync in LibreWolf, if you enable it in the settings.
I need to run my own sync server.
You can do that too. LibreWolf is not taking away any of Firefox functionality unless there's a specific reason for it. Some of its defaults are stricter, but those can be changed. All the configuration is totally available to you.
I get that. It's just your comment made me realize I should self host my sync server.
Ah, good call. I probably should too. I'm not sure I will, but I should.
Hmm. I didn't see the option, but if true, that's great (if you use the option).
