If focusing on security, they should consider disabling the JIT compiler in the JavaScript engine. Almost all Firefox exploits in recent years have been based around vulnerabilities in this code.

Clears history on close, by default. No safety screening without getting to your own key. Definitely not for normies.

Still, competition is good.

> Disable DRM, as it is a limitation to user freedom

Does that mean you can't watch, e.g., Netflix using Librefox? No judgement, I am just curious.
