Once you go Firefox on Linux Mint 22.1 you never go back.

You mean I should abandon my beloved Lynx?
Didn’t try lynx but I really enjoy everything about Firefox on mint
Well what I like most on firefox is that there is the vimium plugin tbh.
Makes browsing so much more organic on any type of *nix or linux.

Don’t know about that

Thx!
I too love mint as my daily.
Until you learn about librewolf.
As well as when you run the network scanning application etherape to discover a privacy and security nightmare.
Then it is time to find a more trustworthy linux distro. When you are ready. I am here to help.

Um...
You might want to harden Firefox to the nines there, Sooly. Reason being is because of huge privacy risks (unless you take the Michael Bazell route).
Otherwise, harden ALL Firefox-based browsers to the nines (like I do) and use different browsers and compartmentalize specific browsers for specific purposes.
Appreciate the heads-up
Do you mind elaborating further? Explaining it to a 12 yrs old? :)
The reason why I harden Firefox forks like Matsumoto Castle is because I try to reduce my browser fingerprint (basically, an profile ID that stays with a browser permanently until a new profile is made). There's a site called fingerprint.com, and it houses some nasty code to basically extract the browser fingerprint... and it's very good at deducing anything you do to the browser, and catches you BSing on what you think your browser is doing.
There are good extensions, like uBlock Origin and NoScript, that allow you to minimize it, but you can't get rid of the espionage entirely.
Compartmentalization basically consists of me using multiple browsers for different purposes. For example, I use LibreWolf as my browser for nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqyfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9sldm58v, Mastadon and #nostr whereas I use Waterfox for regular browsing, Zen Browser for Google shenanigans (I run 3 YouTube channels), and Floorp for a different purpose.
I use how Multi-Account Containers on Firefox which allows me to operate multiple browsers at the same time while opening multiple WhatsApps for example, each container dedicated for a function etc. how does it compare to your setup?
That's similar to my Waterfox setup, where I also have that. However, you might want to use different browsers for different purposes because even if you use Multi-Account Containers, you'll still be fingerprinted regardless. That's where the compartmentalization comes into play.
Gotcha 🙏🏽
