That's a good point, thanks!

I should have rephrased my question to: "How do the levels of privacy/security/speed differ between Firefox+Betterfox and LibreWolf?"

I'm sure both have their tradeoffs, but I was just curious if anyone has tried and extensively compared both.

Librewolf is essentially Arkenfox but as a browser instead of a user.js. You may gain more privacy but at the expense of potential site breakage.

Betterfox is for everyday use cases and should rarely cause site breakage. It also has prefs to prevent annoyances and improve browsing speed.
