mullvad vpn + mullvad browser + a bunch of extensions: 1:26830.0
fingerprint.com does not track me
Mullvad browser + extensions is pointless, might as well use LibreWolf or just harden Firefox yourself.
The point of the Mullvad browser is to not stand out from the crowd; by installing extensions you are definitely standing out.
librewolf doesn't do auto updates.
I don't need to harden firefox myself, mullvad comes pre harded.
You're right. What I meant was that you lose Mullvad's fingerprinting resistance by installing extensions, but if you're only looking for a hardened Firefox with auto updates then it's fine.
Librewolf Flatpak autoupdates lol
That's great! I'm glad you have a package management system that works for you!

It should however be noted that LibreWolf does not have auto-update capabilities, and therefore it relies on package managers or users to apply them.
