So at a quick glance Librewolf is the best choice for desktop? Does it allow addons or block ads natively?

It comes with uBlock Origin preinstalled, so there's that. Otherwise, it's just a hardened Firefox fork, and as such has the same catalogue of addons

Awesome. Makes me wonder if there's still a reason to use Firefox over Librewolf.

I assume Sync doesn't work for history and bookmarks if its not using the FF servers.
