What do you think about LibreWolf? Is it trustworthy enough for using it to login into banks and sensitive accounts (like email)?
Because many people recommended me exactly LibreWolf…
Anyone here using it? What do you think?

While LibreWolf is a fork of Firefox, @tkn has recommended it as a better choice for security reasons.

Just yesterday, I was checking out different browsers and noticed that people were talking a lot about Libre Wolf… I wasn’t really familiar with it, and I agree with what Eric says, it works well in terms of security.
Right now, I’m using Brave

I’d say LibreWolf is definitely more trustworthy than Brave, considered LW is a privacy-focused fork of Firefox. I’d even choose Firefox over Brave, to be honest.
Brave has a history of dodgy practices, including injecting their own referrals into crypto links, ads in home screens, shipping an insecure (and broken) Tor implementation, selling copyrighted content for AI and not telling website owners. I found this post to be pretty good as well. Unfortunately it seems the CEO also has anti-LGBTQ views and gives money to organisations aiming to strip migrants of their rights. I just cannot support this browser or company in any capacity.

Good choice 
Librewolf is a fork of firefox focused on security and privacy.
I use Librewolf for logging into my bank, logging into work and sites that are known to be ‘difficult’.
In my opinion it is the best choice: Contrary to firefox it comes with sane and secure settings out of the box and has default already “uBlock Origin” (crapware blocker) installed.
In my experience it is the browser with the least annoyances.
(My other browser is Brave, which I operate behind a dns-crypt proxy with extensive filtering which can be problematic sometimes on some sites but a blessing on others)

I use it for all my sensitive information and accounts but only that. I have it set up so it never saves history or any passwords. I have never had any trouble with it and trust it.

Andreas, it wasn’t clear to me, from the above, which you were referring to: LibreWolf or Brave?

Sorry Eric for the confusion, I was referring to Brave in that tirade.

Greetings and welcome to our friendly forum @Jordan.cc !
As a few others have already stated, LibreWolf is based on the Firefox Web Browser with additional security-based default settings, so as long as your financial institution supports or allows you in when using LibreWolf I would indeed recommend it.
Even if they DON’T, there are ways to alter the ident string in the browser to make it LOOK like a supported browser, so 1) it’s secure, and 2) even if there are problems with the bank “knowing” the browser by identification, it is possible to work around this; hopefully that will NOT be necessary!
Regarding the comments from @tkn I endorse these, but offer YET another alternative, and a few distributors are BEGINNING to package this one; otherwise it’s downloadable in several formats: Ungoogled Chromium.

I use both Arkenfox (hardened Firefox) and LibreWolf. It was my understanding that LibreWolf was basically Firefox with the Arkenfox hardening and uBlock Origin preinstalled.
If you have security concerns about a small project like LibreWolf, consider Firefox with Arkenfox and uBlock Origin. It is slightly more work, but you can fine tune things as you wish.
