Warning to all Brave Browser Users

Blocking variations.brave.com which is used for A/B testing could potentially break Brave’s functionalities. For me did Brave’s “forgetful browsing” feature broke which seems to be disabled by default if you block this domain.

      Why is librewolf superior to our of the box Firefox? Or mullvad browser for that matter?

        It has included some privacy measures to resist fingerprinting like letterboxing and has more privacy focused search engines as default like searx. Also it takes out some firefox utilities like pocket which I don’t really use

        As for Mullwav browser I’m not really sure, it seems to be another reinforced firefox like librewolf

        Btw, here is a detailed, technical review. It is in German, but with transtae and all the code, it should be understandable.

        TLDR: It’s good.

        I’m not really sure, I haven’t used it. In fairness, I only use librewolf for incognito searches, not as a daily driver
