 [[https://librewolf.net/|LibreWolf]] is a custom version of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom. It is kept up-to-date with the latest stable Firefox branch. It is available for most major GNU/Linux distros and also for Windows and MacOS.
-I recommend disabling "resistFingerprinting" for a more seamless browsing experience. For the maximum privacy protection it should not be disabled, but I think most users switching from other browsers will find its [[https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#what-are-the-most-common-downsides-of-rfp-resist-fingerprinting|side effects]] annoying. I also don't use any CanvasBlocker add-on (which is recommended when disabling resistFingerprinting) since I want to keep my browser as light as possible. It is recommended to use [[https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode#how-to-enable-this-mode|medium mode in uBlock Origin]].
+In case you are not using a tiling window manager (like i3 or Awesome) you may want to disable "resistFingerprinting" for a more seamless usage. However for maximum privacy protection it is recommended to keep it enabled. More info [[https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#what-are-the-most-common-downsides-of-rfp-resist-fingerprinting|here]]. It is also recommended to use [[https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode#how-to-enable-this-mode|medium mode in uBlock Origin]], but it breaks functionality of some sites, so I decided to keep the default iBlock Origin settings.
-You can disable "resistFingerprinting" in LibreWolf's settings or directly in the config file. This is the content of my ''librewolf.overrides.cfg''
+You can disable or enable "resistFingerprinting" in LibreWolf's settings or directly in the config file. This is the content of my ''librewolf.overrides.cfg'' (I'm using a tiling WM most of the time, so resistFingerprinting is enabled, my WM adapts LibreWolf's window size automatically).
