I prefer Librewolf as it is easier and simpler to use

    Arkenfox quite literally is not a fork. It is just changing settings. That is like saying I am making a Firefox fork by changing it to dark theme and changing the default search engine to Bing.

    Arkenfox isn’t a fork, even with a script it is manual for much of it. A fork requires redistributing the code, which for Firefox requires the Dev to change the name and replace icons of the application (to comply with Firefox’s license), which requires modifying the source code and compiling.

      Taking the latest release and then running a script to patch it with some modifications is the definition of a fork.

      By your logic, Tor Browser isn’t a fork of Firefox.

        Tor makes changes to the FF source though for it to run, no?

        Arkenfox merely makes config changes in FF

        Its not modifying the code, it’s changing existing settings that are already available to be changed to optimal settings for privacy…

        It is not a fork you are completely wrong.
