  • Reports of its death are GREATLY exaggerated. I would suggest continuing to simply use firefox and disable any future crap you don’t prefer.

    That said librewolf which is intended to be firefox with stronger privacy settings by default that said

    • Default settings break more websites
    • You have to get extensions manually from for instance github because it doesn’t use mozillas addon (it can probably be enabled)
    • It doesn’t use the built in password manager which is in fact privacy preserving so you have to enable it or use something else
    • you don’t get syncing via firefox sync which is in fact already privacy preserving so you have to enable it if you want it
    • It doesn’t remember cookies without manually adding an exception to each site this is extremely obnoxious. I’m sure its configurable though

    At this time it is far easier to disable the few things that may be undesired from firefox vs turning librewolf into an acceptable option.













  • Basically you doubt… reality and want to somehow assign credit for guns you hallucinated exist even when people used their feet and fists. Face it random joe with a gun saving the day during a mass shooting is so rare as to be non-existent. Good guys with guns are basically worthless in such misadventures.

    If we look at home use is even dumber. Having a gun in the average house increases your chance of death.



  • It’s incredibly easy to believe. Many people own guns most of them don’t go around armed literally all the time. Fewer yet are going to get in a gun fight to the death with a shooter who is actively killing people all around them. Of those willing to do so basically anyone with even half a brain is going to take the shot. By the time you have yelled “drop the” they have enough time to bring the gun to bear on you. It makes more sense to execute you than comply.

    What you are describing is a movie fantasy.


  • For practical purposes imagine yourself in a public area with the gunman actively shooting people with an AR-15, to the left of you a guys head is turned to mush, down the way someone takes a hit to a limb leaving their arm dangling in an unnatural way. All around you are dead and dying you ignore the pistol in your pocket and run at him screaming “I’m going to take you down brudder”.

    The people who subdued people without shooting them probably didn’t have a gun.
