    As a libreworlf user, I’d have to advise some caution to regular users. A lot of sites are broken as images won’t load and “fancier” web apps don’t work super well either. Yes it’s an easy fix, but expecting someone to go look in the config files to get an image to load is too much for a lot of people

        Open netflix. Even with a lot of features turned off and DRM enabled, it will regularly fail to load any content.

        And, yes, the general user will want sites like netflix to work.

            No need. It seem it got fixed along the way. But that’s the point; I tried this a year ago, and it would not work, either under the default configuration with DRM enabled, or after disabling most of the privacy features, so I just gave up on it.

            Firefox, for all the flaws regarding the direction Mozilla is taking, just worked out of the box. And for adoption, working out of the box immediately is kind of a requirement.

              It would be helpful that when you report something is working or not, that you test a modern version, or you state when you last had the failure. Misinformation is not something we should be spreading. It can do far more harm than good.

              Also hopefully the top comments config script works for you or you’ve found an alternative browser like WaterFox or others.
