Actually, Twitch was noticeably smoother on Librewolf! On Librewolf, Reddit, ProtonMail, Telegram, Mega, Twitch and Twitter run well and with ease. You also can't change most UI elements without headaches. Thet can only change a couple of colours on the top.

Being able to remove, move and hide UI elements with ease, having better-looking tabs and full themes are definitely good! CustomizationĪs it's based on Firefox, Librewolf also gets a lot of customization goodies from it. IP Leakīoth browsers managed to keep my IP hidden from IPLeak and from Browser Leaks, while connected to ProtonV*N (Censored because Reddit's Automod can delete the post to comply with rule 13)īoth browsers also didn't leaked DNS servers and were resistant to WebRTC leakage. That seems to be a thing from the Tor Uplift Project. It allows websites to identify Firefox/Firefox-based users with fingerprinting protection, but not uniquely identify them. Although it is fingerprintable, it changes on a page reload or a browser reload.Įdit: As a comment said, Librewolf assigns the same audiocontext and WebGL fingerprint for all Librewolf users. In Browser Leaks, on canvas section, both browsers seem to have a randomized fingerprint. Librewolf managed to hide time zone and useragent, while Brave couldn't. Both browsers managed to hide / randomize system fonts, canvas fingerprint, WebGL vendor, hardware concurrency, screen size and RAM.īrave managed to hide WebGL fingerprint and audiocontext fingerprint, while Librewolf couldn't. In Cover Your Tracks, both browsers did well. Brave does it using Brave Shields, which is their own fingerprint protection feature.'

I believe as both browsers are running uBlock Origin with the same filter lists, that's why. Ad-blockingīoth d3ward's website and Adblock Tester gives a score of 100% for both browsers. Launching simple webpages such as, , and is fast, loading every webpage in under a second on both browsers. Launching both browsers were a good experience, both loads in under a second.

Librewolf, installed from Flathub, stable channel. Every other useless stuff turned off regarding BAT, IPFS, WebTorrent and things like that. Warning: I won't take in comparison the ideology (Chromium / Gecko) or the enterprises behind them (Brave's CEO homofobic / Mozilla being fully funded by Google / Brave BAT and Firefox Pocket) I will only test the browsers and give a objective opinion on them.īrave, installed from the instructions on their website, stable channel. My desktop: Fedora 35 / Ry/ RX 5500 XT / 16GB RAM This is a comparison with a beginner POV, I won't go in details about workarounds and better settings, it's mostly a comparison of out-of-the-box defaults. I used Librewolf as my main browser for ~2 months and made sure to check everything well.
