The idea is interesting. I was reading it but I did not find a .deb package to install and test. I'm not a friend of Firefox, I use Slimjet and Vivaldi and I uninstalled Firefox because it generated slowness and freezes from MX17 beta

Hi!
@Gerson- the developers seem to have not created a application file - even the compressed files they offer in github are only small 40 to 60 kb zip files that, according to the instructions should be decompressed to your Firefox folder. It's more like a Firefox costumization, not a new application in itself...
I didn't test that, but, to be on the safe side and test LibreFox you can download a Firefox tar file, uncompress it to a folder, merge librefox files with those firefox files, according to the instructions in the zip file and then execute the firefox available in that folder (note: you have to close all other instances of firefox that are already running before starting this "altered" Firefox)...

P.

Nahhh... @PPC it does not strike me that way. Better I invite you to try Brave, I use it on another machine and it goes very well.

I find there are many browsers that 'almost' work well. ;)
