        Debian 11, Ubuntu 20 and Mint 20
        For Debian 11, Ubuntu 20 and Mint 20, we now have a Debian repository with which you can easily install and update LibreWolf. To add it to your system and install LibreWolf, run the following commands one by one:

        https://librewolf.net/installation/debian/

        I got this one.
        $ librewolf
        bash: /usr/bin/librewolf: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

        I need a 32 bit version.

            Usually, hdparm and parted are used to determine the performance data of an SSD.
            It is important that the SSD is set up with a correct alignment, e.g.

            # parted /dev/sda align-check opt
            Partitionsnummer? 1                                                       
            1 aligned
            ...

            The command
            # hdparm -I /dev/sda
            provides me with all the data of the SSD, what it can do and what it cannot do.

            10 years ago I had to increase the “spare area” on my SSD by leaving a certain area unpartitioned before partitioning. Nowadays you don’t need to do that with modern SSD’s.

            At that time the commands showed me these speeds to my MXSSD1MNANO-60G

            2011-10-07
            
            # hdparm -tT /dev/sda 
            /dev/sda:
             Timing cached reads:   1318 MB in  2.00 seconds = 658.76 MB/sec
             Timing buffered disk reads: 260 MB in  3.02 seconds =  86.19 MB/sec
            
            # hdparm -tT --direct /dev/sda
            /dev/sda:
             Timing O_DIRECT cached reads:   178 MB in  2.02 seconds =  88.24 MB/sec
             Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 272 MB in  3.01 seconds =  90.29 MB/sec

            and today

            2021-08-23
            
            sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda
            
            /dev/sda:
             Timing cached reads:   1370 MB in  2.00 seconds = 684.65 MB/sec
             Timing buffered disk reads: 280 MB in  3.02 seconds =  92.68 MB/sec
             
            sudo hdparm -tT --direct /dev/sda
            
            /dev/sda:
             Timing O_DIRECT cached reads:   178 MB in  2.01 seconds =  88.53 MB/sec
             Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 274 MB in  3.00 seconds =  91.29 MB/sec

            which shows that it has even become marginally better.

            Maybe this series of articles is interesting for one or the other.

              no up-to-date 32 bit version of librewolf,
              sorry was not aware you would want that, I run 64 bit antix 21 runit on my eepc.

              Means harden the default ESR Firefox, or if you feel like an adventure self compile
              as far as possible using LibreWolf options.
              Will look in to latter option but give me time.

              Much of what LibreWolf does is acheived with prefs.js, user.js, in the chrome folder userchrome.css usercontent.css
              partly appearance but probably more than that.

              Yo can get the ESR fox very quiet and efficient, just never allow Mozilla to refresh the browser, always after updates
              Disconnect from internet before stating the browser !. Take out the hidden extensions ensure things like the crapdeporter
              springbender pluplater minipump-izer are appropriately named. Do not delete them or fox will not start. There may already
              be a fallback mechanism in FF, some time ago the rubbish could be deleted without issues. Mozzilla does not want you to escape.
              Do not trust the normal settings, search config tips here, ghacks, kuketz etc. Bakker makes millions a year for ensuring sale
              of your data to googli and rotten fruit company.

                If you want to get rid of mozilla’s telemetry there are plenty of opportunities: ffprofile (site), and several guides in privacytools (reddit). You can find them all on Google pages (or whatever you use).

                  If you want to get rid of mozilla’s telemetry there are plenty of opportunities, Please provide some proven working solutions
                  which do not need code patching and recompiling the browser.

                  Much of what gives the telemetry effect is not apparent some more than devious and involves several steps in data processing
                  both by moz and its paying partners…

                      cool that they finally got a debian package for debian 11. Would that work even if running debian 10? Ie, can you install a package for debian 11 on a debian 10 system, if you somehow update all dependencies?
