    Waterfox has been great so far. I only switched from Librewolf because updating that on MacOS is frustrating.

      LibreWolf messes up time zones and makes scheduled content appear at unwanted times. That would normally be fine if there was a way to temporarily switch to your normal time zone in the settings for scheduled posts and chats, but they provide no way to do this without major tinkering in about:config (or whatever the experimental page is); that’s why I returned to Wx, which, yes, has been nearly flawless so far.

        There are extensions for overusing time zone. But yeah, I hated that, too. It’s another mechanism that it uses to avoid fingerprinting.

          I get that and I know there are ways around it, but none of them are official from the LibreWolf team; that’s what rubs me the wrong way. We have to find our own side alleys to bypass it, which is absurd. It infuriated me when a video I scheduled got uploaded at 2 AM or whenever instead of 9 AM, which was what led me to uninstall that deceptive software. I never saw any warning about the forced time zone-changing…

        The updates tend to trip up quarantine. I was using brew auto-update, which did not play nice with this app.
