Brave is being forced to use Googles version of Manifest 3 meaning ad blockers and anti trackers are crippled in favour of advertisers and Googles ad business. Brave will be including 4 manifest 2 extensions in its backend but that's it. They're stuck because Google decided to screw over the entire Chrome based ecosystem.

Mozilla is implementing Manifest 3 differently so the original techniques for adblocking and privacy still work.

So the only choice is Librewolf. Sacrificing privacy and security for smoother animations and Web translation of pages is not worth it.

don't use brave for anything; brave is a pro crypto ad infested slop owned by a homophobic bigot

TLDR: use librewolf and ironfox on mobile I do not trust a for-profit company with something as important as my fucking browser https://redlib.tiekoetter.com/r/browsers/comments/1j1pq7b/list_of_brave_browser_controversies/

IronFox is closer to LibreWolf on mobile then IceRaven.

• LibreWolf: Focuses on privacy + security
• IronFox: Focuses on privacy + security
• IceRaven: Focuses on customizability

Both IronFox and IceRaven have extension support :)

Any oppinions regarding librewolf vs ironfox?

Does LibreWolf come with an adblocker as good as brave and can I play YouTube videos while not having my screen on without paying for YT premium?

Do browsers need to do so much? Many features seem like bloat, not must-haves for the average user.

Brave also offers a few additional, very valuable things:

• the only app that reflects fingerprinting protection in PrivacyBadger, in my experience
• works on most webpages
• selective use of first-party cookies, per site.
