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
I’ve heard that the main dev for LibreWolf is anonymous.
If that’s true, then there is a possibility that they could easily be a foreign state actor.
The code is open source, so feel free to check if that foreign state actor left any backdoor.
if you find any backdoor in librewolf and share it with public I would be very grateful
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.
