Not really. I used to use it, but it was noticeably slower than Firefox and ungoogled chromium. It's basically just ungoogled chromium with a bunch of extensions preinstalled.

That's not true. It has, in an easy-to-access UI many privacy protections, including fingerprinting and tracking, and even disabling JavaScript per site (EDIT: Among other things, including a crypto payment system, IPFS, and more.)

So, ungoogled chromium with uBlock origin, uMatrix, and noscript preinstalled?

Also IPFS companion and rebranded MetaMask.

How is that a correction?

Your statement isn't true for Ubuntu and ZorinOS. Firefox on Ubuntu and ZorinOS still have breaking problems with some websites such as Google Map.

Seems like that must be an Ubuntu-specific problem?

Working fine for me on:

- Debian, Raspbian

- Arch, Manjaro

- Fedora
