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

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/
