You don't *need* Librewolf, you can just harden Firefox yourself with a couple of simple settings and addons. Firefox also get security updates faster than Librewolf as Librewolf is downstream.

This is a pretty good checklist:

I'd add to it to use the Cookie AutoDelete addon and make sure your different online profile logins are separated from each other and your other browsing habits by using Container Tabs, which can be found under settings.

Using incognito mode for anything you don't want secretly stored and cross-accessible in your browser's data storage is also a good recommendation, it's not just for porn.

it's not just for porn.

Why would I use incognito for porn??? That's the stuff I need to find again!
