Personally I’ve heard of 3 other “Foxes”; Waterfox, Ironfox & Librefox. Anyone know the differences between these & the use cases? I’ve been wanting to switch off Firefox to something more privacy-focused and this has given me a good push to do so.
IronFox is a privacy fork for Android, the rest of these are meant for desktop.
Waterfox is privacy-focused but more focused on convenience than Librewolf*.
Librewolf is also privacy-focused but leans further into privacy than Waterfox with the sacrifice of convenience.
Mullvad Browser leans even further into privacy than Librewolf with the sacrifice of convenience. Made by the Tor team and Mullvad.
*I haven’t used Waterfox much but this seems to be the consensus online
Personally, I use Mullvad Browser as a daily driver, and anything that doesn’t work on Mullvad Browser I use Librewolf or hardened Brave for. (Many people don’t like Brave but I like to have a privacy-focused Chromium-based browser for web development)
