Chrome plating (less commonly chromium plating) is a technique of electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal object. A chrome plated part is called chrome, or is said to have been chromed.
Chromium is a chemical element with the symbol Cr and atomic number 24. It is the first element in group 6. It is a steely-grey, lustrous, hard, and brittle transition metal.
the name “firefox” comes from the red panda & the icon apparently from a fox, so you’re both right in a way. a little bit of ambiguity and people discussing the brand of the browser seems to be quite a likeable thing to maintain ;-)
If you didn’t know, firefox has ‘containers’ where you can open a tab in, for example, a ‘work’ container and it won’t carry the cookies over. Lets you log into multiple accounts on 1 browser (like personal email & work email etc).
Do containers allow you to have separate bookmarks lists? TBH, I don’t trust myself to always use the same container for the same “stuff” different browsers serves to idiot proof it for me.
Actually there’s one better - if you go to about:profiles in the URL bar you can make a new profile that is COMPLETELY separate, including history. Only annoying thing is that you have to go there every time you want to open a window in a profile other than the default
Firefox has telementary on by default which you can easily disable in settings.
And imo waterfox is worse than Librewolf as it was sold to system1, a advertisment company
I use Firefox because it doesn’t steal my data OR lie to me.
And foxes are cool animals 🦊 Way cooler than whatever a chrome is.

Firefox is actually a red panda. Which frankly are even cooler than foxes.

I use multiple browsers to contain work and not work footprints.

Doesn’t have seperate history though.

I use Waterfox because Firefox actually does steal my data but Waterfox doesn’t.
Waterfox was sold to system1, an advertising company. It also doesn’t immediately release patches that are released in upstream Firefox.
Use a hardened Firefox with the Arkenfox user.js
Honest questions: what data does Firefox steal and why Waterfox over others like Librewolf?

Librewolf lags very far behind in staying up to date with security patches. Use regular Firefox hardened with Arkenfox’s user.js
You’re lying to yourself if you think Mozzarella Foxfire doesn’t have telemetry. I’d recommend Waterfox if you’re wanting no telemetry
