I've been using Mullvad browser that was recommended for having the strongest anti-fingerprinting features. I would be interested in whether anyone has any idea how Mullvad browser and LibreWolf compare and which is "better" (or are they targeting different threat models?)

Edit: here's a resource in case anyone else is interested. Also one of my main privacy info sources (Techlore YouTube channel) recommends Mullvad (and LibreWolf too, but prefers Mullvad). I find less sites break with Mullvad compared to LibreWolf.

IMO they're no different in any practical way, but i don't have the technical knowledge to back up that assertion.

The type of security they offer is a trade off against convenience. I know I have to dial back libre wolf's aggressive privacy protections.
