I currently use Brave and am curious about the pros and cons of both since I see many people recommend Firefox.

Librewolf > Mullvad > Brave > Firefox

According to the tests

Edit: added Mullvad

The tests are made by a Brave employee. Biased enough that everyone shouldn't trust the results.

I’m trying to use Librewolf but still have Brave installed and am forced to use it frequently due to the growing list of websites that don’t work with a hardened Firefox. It sux, but while chromium variants are used by the vast majority of people, that list will keep growing

Edit: Braves defingerprinting is way better than Firefox, especially if you want to use dark mode
