noyb filed a complaint against Mozilla for quietly enabling a supposed “privacy feature” (called Privacy Preserving Attribution) in its Firefox browser which tracks user behaviour on websites.

    Here’s two tips:

    • Shield icon to disable protection for the site if it break
    • Icon to the right to enable cookie preservation for the site.

    This is the essential thing to learn for librewolf. The settings are quite aggressive so you may need to disable the protection. And for websites you want to stay logged in, it’s opt-in.

      Thanks, for the tips! I’m familiar with UBlock Origin, have been using it for ages. Good to know about the cookies and persistent login.

        It’s mostly that Librewolf is a bit like incognito mode by default and it may be confusing for new users.

        If you really want to go power mode you can create multiple profiles with different cookie policies. Great to organise yourself and keep cookies where they belong

        Either you go the firefox account way (librewolf has it turned off by default but you can turn it back up)

        Or you go the manual way. Go to your about:profiles, open both directory for your profile data, and the folders in the corresponding librewolf folder (that you can check by going in about:profiles on librewolf).
