For people who are choosing between Librewolf and Brave

What Librewolf can do (but Brave can’t):

  • Be run in a portable form
  • Duplicate / manage user profiles easily
  • Use a self‑hosted sync server
  • Install most browser plugins on mobile (e.g. Iceraven)
  • Use containers to separate cookies
  • Store browser history permanently

What Brave can do (but Librewolf can’t):

  • Provide a better mobile user experience, including:
    • smoother animations
    • quick switching between tabs (tab icon feature)
  • Translate web pages on mobile devices
  • s12@sopuli.xyz

    I’ve heard that the main dev for LibreWolf is anonymous.
    If that’s true, then there is a possibility that they could easily be a foreign state actor.
