Which to choose: GNU IceCat or LibreWolf? (lemmy.ca)

Trying to move away from FireFox.

I know that there is LibreWolf and GNU IceCat.

What are the pros and cons for each?

I tried GNU IceCat and I don't know how to install extensions. How to get extensions for GNU IceCat? Is it easier on LibreWolf?

I need the following extensions:

ublock origin
send to MPV player
privacy badger
Distraction free youtube
Unhook
LeechBlock NG
Privacy Badger
Tab Session Manager
KeePassXC-Browser

I just recently switched to LibreWolf from Firefox. It's one of the easiest software transitions I've ever made. It really is just Firefox without Mozilla's recent bad decision making.

Thank you.

I see that I have to add an extra repo for Debian. That's my only hesitation towards it atm.

what about flatpaks/snaps?

I've used flatpaks. I've never used snaps (I don't want to support proprietary Canonical stuff). I prefer getting stuff from the Debian repo.
