I currently use Brave and am curious about the pros and cons of both since I see many people recommend Firefox.

If you left chrome thinking brave is not google, both are from companies made for profit. Both are based on chromium. You left one ad company for another.

Hardened Firefox (BetterFox user.js config) is my go to. Good browser. Do now want monopoly of Chromium.

I recently made the move to librewolf(windows) and mull(android). Essentially just Firefox but with more protection. Super easy switch, hardly notice a difference so far.

I just wanted to switch also this week but I am wondering can you sync your bookmarks etc. between Librewolf and Mull?

They both use ff sync so yeah

Ehh....not sure yet 😅

This. I've moved to those browsers some time ago and I'm very satisfied. uBO is also a MUST.

Both install it by default so it's all good, just edit the filter lists

How does betterFox compare to arkenfox?

[–] Sizably8826 2 points 1 year ago

betterfox does have privacy resist fingerprint on, so breaks less site.

It required less manual tweaking, better defaults for me and many people around.
