Anybody out there using Mullvad’s browser? If so what’s your impression so far?
I’ve only just discovered it and started playing with it a bit, but was curious on this group’s opinions/experience with it.

There is a previous post Here .hopefully the link works, first time trying it, and I have had issues following other links in Jerboa
Looks good, but I dont see a reason why I would use it over librewolf tbh.
Just came across Librewolf also, guessing you’ve been pretty pleased with it then? Any standout features of Librewolf that made you go/stick with it?
LibreWolf has an official Flatpak, which is great for Linux users. The Mullvad Browser Flatpak is not official and allegedly makes suspicious connections.
LibreWolf has good private default settings, but the Mullvad Browser and Tor Browser can go the extra mile because they’re meant to blend into a crowd, through VPN traffic and the Tor Network respectively. If you plan to log-in to sites, install extensions, enable uBlock Origin lists, or customize your browser at all, you defeat the purpose of those browsers.
LibreWolf by comparison is far more reasonable to customize. They even have a custom settings page for the more intense privacy settings among other things. Enabling persistent storage for sites you log into is easier because it’s not forced into Private Browsing all the time. These changes are reasonable because the goal is not to blend into a specific crowd.
There’s no reason you can’t use all these browsers (and more) if their use cases sound relevant to you. I use LibreWolf, Mullvad, Tor, Brave, Vanadium, Mull, and even Edge depending on my needs.
Great info, thanks!

For my everyday surfing without needing an account, I’m using the MB. For everything else It’s LibreWolf. I use Chocolatey to get updates so I don’t fall behind. Winget is also possible.
