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

It’s not open source. I was saying, if you must use chrome based browsers, suck it up and use non-OSS, because Brave is just awful in so many ways.

sorry, non open source is not acceptable in my view
