- Icecat is much more hardened overall, makes zero requests to mozilla and has many features used for
- spying disabled at the source level. Librewolf is still one of the best options for hardened firefox
- based webbrowsers still. Its updated much more often than icecat and is less likely to break shitty
- websites. It was even my daily driver for a while. Unlike icecat librewolf still makes some requests
- to mozilla and can leak information through webrtc so best not to use librewolf unless your school
