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

The point of open source is that it can be audited by entities and individuals with diverse (even polar opposite) motivations. Examine the code yourself if you like.
