Why do people more often recommend “just Firefox” instead of forks like Waterfox or LibreWolf? Any real downsides to using forks?
I’ve noticed that when people ask for what’s the best browser, etc, the recommendation (in addition to other usual suspects like Brave, Safari or what not) is usually “just use Firefox” and its forks (Waterfox, LibreWolf, Mull, etc.) are more rarely mentioned.
What are the main reasons behind that? Is it mostly about trust and update speed, or are there concrete technical or practical downsides to using forks instead of mainline Firefox?
