SRWare Iron Or Libre Wolf

When I install either, it takes like 10 minutes for it to “extract” and “compiling” everything.

There are several ways to do it, but if I run yay -S librewolf I get all this stuff

And so on and so forth…

As I said, it runs for minutes upon minutes. Should it be doing this?

It also “ends” in an error… I forget what that is, but…

librewolf is a much better choice.

yay -S librewolf is building the browser from source. This will take time. From minutes to several hours depending on your hardware.

If you want a prebuilt version, use yay -S librewolf-bin

Oh, that’s why? OK. Thought it was going mental… LOL
