Thanks for the rundown. I was putting in time to make Librewolf work with some sites it was struggling with (purely entertainment/WebGL, mind you). I gave up in the end. Might try Waterfox or Zen next time I feel like making an attempt. That said, I’d be happier with a plugin that simply disables the AI stuff in Firefox.
Just toggle “Block AI enhancements” in the Firefox settings - way easier than a plugin, and safer too (not potentially dodgy third party).
I’ll do that, thank you very much - I appreciate it!
All I know from memory is you may need to disable LibreWolf’s canvas obfuscation, hopefully Waterfox is better. I know DRM licensing can be difficult, depending on what entertainment you’re trying to access.
Thanks. I tried many of those methods, but for one particular site I was interested in they just weren’t enough. I should probably still consider LibreWolf for serious stuff.
I think DRM content should work out of the box in WaterFox.

LibreWolf and DRM seems really messy. I see threads about having to do multiple workarounds… LibreWolf is great, but it might be overkill for you. Waterfox is already very private and debloated.
