I recently gave Mullvad Browser a try but it still doesn't convince me for my daily browser.
For those who don't know, Mullvad Browser is made in collaboration with the creators of Tor browser and Mullvad VPN.
And also collaborates the creator arkenfox (user.js) which is applied in LibreWolf (Thorin-Oakenpants).
Basically the Mullvad browser is the same as Tor, but without Tor, with all the advantages and disadvantages that this entails.
The main difference between Mullvad and LibreWolf is that Mullvad, like Tor starts in private browsing mode and LibreWolf does not, this has implications in daily use as described below.
The disadvantages I see with respect to LibreWolf:
- It does not support Firefox Containers
- Not being able to share session between tabs.
- You can't add exceptions for cookie clearing on closing
- No flatpak version.
The advantages:
- Better update system
- Financial and Tor team support (The browser is based on the Tor browser code)
So I'm sticking with LibreWolf for now.
