I also keep a chromium browser installed as a backup when something doesn't work properly (and for web dev testing).since librewolf is a privacy focused browser, do you even need privacy badger?
I'm not 100% sure about this, I think it blocks more trackers than if you don't have it. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Unrelated to Privacy Badger, but if you want to use LibreWolf as a personal browser, y'know, logged into accounts on websites, then you're going to have to disable "Delete cookies and site data when LibreWolf is closed" in Privacy and Security

You can also make exceptions for sites you wanna stay logged into, if you wanna leave that setting unchanged, which is what I do.
You just gotta click "Manage exceptions" in Privacy and Security, under "Cookies and site data." Then you copy paste the site you want and set it to "allow" and save it.

I use Cookie AutoDelete as it's way more painless than doing it this way. It deletes all cookies by default but you can add any site to the whitelist to keep the cookies.

That's one method, but I prefer to have as little extensions as possible. Since I used to use a lot of extensions for youtube once and it ate up my RAM. Also I hear that extensions can be used to track you more easily if you're not careful.

I think you mean it makes your browser more identifiable, you're probably right on that. But if you're that concerned, you should use TOR instead, as Librewolf will never be 100% private in this regards. RAM is not an issue for me as I have 32GB of it, but I see your point. Thanks for giving an alternative.

True. I mean, at the end of the day, it's your choice. I agree that librewolf will never be 100% private. Hell, I'd argue that with Tor too. But that's a topic for another discussion.
