Should I use the default firefox on Qubes OS
I’m installing Qubes OS for the first time, and I was wondering if there is any disadvantage to installing librewolf (or something similar) as my primary browser instead of default firefox? If I do want to do this, is there a recommended method beyond “install it as normal in the template”? I notice that when creating a new qube, there is a menu for additional applications; how exactly does that work? For practical reasons I might also want to install some kind of chromium based browser (probably helium), but I wouldn’t expect to use it much.

What are some of your goals, motivations, restrictions, and threat model? Hard to give great advice without knowing more. I would encourage to check out Konform Browser! (am dev) It’s significantly more relevant for privacy than Firefox without compromising on functionality. In any case a benefit of QubesOS is that you can easily use several in different AppVMs so you can mix and match. Regardless of whatever else you use I guess you will always have Tor Browser on the side to, for example.
