Been doing great for me, for what I use it for. It uses the same gecko engine that Firefox uses, but it is it’s own thing, and not just a fork of Firefox.
I personally would have switched to LibreWolf, but they don’t have a builtin password manager. And its a bit too restrictive too. I guess Waterfox would be a better alternative, but don’t know how fast they update when Firefox updates.
Just curious - why is the built in password manager a deal breaker? I’ve always used a 3rd party solution because I am looking for the ultimate in password manager portability because I use different browsers for work and personal.
Its the most easy way for me and I don’t want to deal with a third party tool for every day use. I use a third party password manager, but it is annoying in daily usage for me. I use it to store all passwords, so it has its use.
FYI, Firefox still has a profile manager, good for separating work and personal life. That makes the password manager very portable as you can sign into different Mozilla accounts in each one, to keep distinct sets of sync data. It’s easy to create a separate shortcut/launcher file that starts up a secondary profile by adding these arguments to the command:
-P yourprofilename
However, I gave up on the inbuilt password manager. It’s too simple, you can’t edit entry labels, edit URLs (e.g. when site’s main domain changes), or store anything other than usernames and passwords (e.g. notes).
You mean LibreWolf?
I’m fragmented. I have Firefox and ironfox on my desktop, and librewolf on my phone.
You mean the other way around
I do? I don’t think I do. I’m running 3 different forks, so that seems fragmented…
Librewolf is for your PC, Ironfox is for mobile
Oh. Well I’m also running weblibre :-D
Huh, I never heard of that one, how is your experience so far compared to Ironfox?
