I installed it using the repository method. I don't like that it doesn't 
keep track of things, like maximizing your window at startup, or your zoom 
or theme settings for specific sites. They say this is for security, but it 
seems like it's a little too much — at least for my taste.

I had no idea that LibreWolf was Woke. I pretty much figure I won't be able 
to use much of anything if I look into the Woke factor too deeply for the 
applications I want to use.

Now I see that they declare themselves to be "very Woke," so another reason 
to kick them to the curb.

So much for LibreWolf.
