I just updated (I use arch btw) and had to reboot WaterFox. The default search engine got changed to 1.org and StartPage no longer shows up as a default option even. Has this happened to anybody else?

Someone please justify to me why I should use Waterfox over Librewolf?
When I was choosing bet them, I heard that librewolf might be too locked down and some websites might not work right without some work. I was just looking for a drop in replacement for Firefox soninchose Waterfox.

Not my experience at all. With one exception: every now and then I have to manually enable WebGL context/canvas.
Quite the opposite; I have it locked down even further with restrictive uBlock Origin settings.
Does Librewolf have an android version? Last time I looked it didn’t but that was months ago.
Ironfox is recommended for Android
I use IronFox for Android and it’s great
Found a Reddit post with a bit more information. With the new built in ad-blocker (which I disabled in favour of uBlock Origin) the default search engine was changed to 1.org and the built in ad-blocked configured to not block ads for searches on 1.org.
i think the built-in blocker is based on uBo, no?
It’s based on Brave’s adblocker.
Never heard of it. Nice domain. Claims to donate to charity every time you search. Makes 3rd party requests to
cookielaw.org cloudfront.net googletagmanager.com unpkg.comCompared to DDG-noAI: zero 3rd party requests.
Waterfox believe in charity so much, they made some sort of deal with a company that is making money with the idea of helping by making internet searches?
BTW, I use Librewolf.
