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
Do browsers need to do so much? Many features seem like bloat, not must-haves for the average user.
This 2 are the best in Open Source browsers at this time, you don’t have to use all the features but they are there. this post is just for those who are interested in comparing this 2 specific browser to find out which one is most suitable, personally I prefer librewolf.
