I might be a bit out of the loop but I assumed the LibreWolf team already removes questionable code when building their fork?

[–] lemmyreader@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes. My point was that by using Firefox ESR as base the update cycle would be much slower which I would welcome.

But what would be the benefit of that?

[–] lemmyreader@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Firefox ESR is like LTS. It would mean less work for LibreWolf maintainers and less upgrades for the users.

I find Firefox ESR much more relaxing to use than the version that springs new features and bugs on you randomly throughout the year.
