Does LibreWolf take the "Microsoft approach" like Firefox now does and abruptly force you to close the browser to complete an update, even if you are in the middle of a browsing session? I had other issues like memory leaks/bloat, but that was the last straw that pushed me away from Firefox.

I have zero problems with Brave; I don't use the crypto bit (not for me) and I still use uBlock Origin with it as Brave + uBO seems to do the best job at blocking garbage that I've seen so far.
