It's updated very soon after Firefox is.ġ. It was introduced in 2019 and it's considered more privacy-oriented by sending no telemetry to Mozilla. It has all the extensions available to Firefox. LibreWolf is a fork of Firefox and has an interface similar to it. When drawing the line in the sand, Firefox is still on this side of it.

I am not giving Firefox a bad review, just a more fair and measured one about things that some people might not have noticed over time. There simply weren't as many quality choices in 2015 as there are today. I had long abandoned Chrome by that point. Chromium was pretty good I guess when I switched to Linux Mint a few years ago. ESR is just as safe to use as regular Firefox but typically requires fewer updates.ĥ-10 years ago this was my favorite web browser and nothing seemed as good. Firefox is stable and Firefox ESR is oldstable. There are some features that Firefox adds over time that ESR does not until the next major ESR release. There isn't much difference in the 2 that I can easily spot. I can't say either way except that it can't be nearly as bad as Google Chrome. There's also the reports of more and more telemetry being taken and some privacy-focused people are not happy about it. It's not significant for those with 4+ GB of ram, but those using much older hardware may notice a difference in performance. The previously reviewed browsers all use less ram normally. Both of these are good browsers and have the features I enjoy much like the others I've reviewed so far, but times have changed.
