    Librewolf and Torbrowser both include hardening and privacy optimizations.

    Kind of separately, but Librewolf, Mull (Android) often take the configs of Torbrowser.

    So calling them opposite makes no sense. They may just leave out some settings.

      The “opposite” was just referring to those 2 aspects - Mullvad has stronger anti-fingerprinting which leads to more breakage. Librewolf has that aspect reversed. Of course, both browsers are similar overall. That’s just one detail where they prioritize differently.

        I think “reversed” and “opposite” makes no sense here.

        Librewolf copies the Torbrowser or Arkenfox patches, maybe adding their own ones, maybe not. Arkenfox is a 1:1 copy of Torbrowser to my knowledge, without using private browsing.

        As you dont have Cookie Containers, the “being more private” or “anti fingerprinting” is a very vague statement. If you use your browser for a single website then yes maybe.
