    Great walkthrough STL! I've only used LibreWolf and the only downside I can say about LW is that a dark theme is not available, it should really be a dark theme as default, my money is on that most people use dark themes these days, but I could be wrong.
    I'm gonna give Mullvad a shot, seems like a perfect option aswell, also they are based in my home country.

      That is what I cannot understand at all (people using dark themes). It only makes sense on OLED screens (power-wise). If Dark Theme was better, Windows would have it enabled by default for 30 years. But we came out of DOS, which was a dark themed system. This means that light themes are better for the eyes. If they weren't, why it was changed when going from DOS to Windows?!

      @@siwiecministro1994 As someone with sensitive eyes to brightness I'll can tell you right now that dark themes are much better for me. Light themes kinda "burns" my eyes.
      I was for the most part only speculating, and when I'll see people stream and so on, they usually use dark themes, more often than light ones.

      @@AceOfBased Dark themes tire my eyes. Light text on dark background literally burn into my eyes - for a short time after when I blink my eyes and look at the wall, I literally see black lines where text was.
      Perhaps it is sign of ageing - I used to use DOS and Linux "framebuffer console" in the past and didn't have too much complaints. :)

    I still love Librewolf, I haven't used it in a while but out of the box Librewolf still does it for me, sign in, and it keeps my cookies. Mullvad doesn't. Just saying.

    I've never used MULVAD or whatever ti was.... I HAVE used Libre Wolf. The only thing I didn't like was if I went to RUclips from Libre Wolf- the dark theme didn't stick- but I found an extenstion that fixes that-- other than that- I LOVE Libre wolf.. it's FAST- secure- and good for me...

    I don't like FF/Tor Browser approach to fingerprinting regarding screen and window resolution. It is great pain in the ... to work with - window size often is ridiculous (especially that I use TreeStyle Tab extension); when resizing to more desirable size, one probably immediately fingerprint oneself. Second of all it produces almost unique resolutions anyway. Why not just fake-reporting to scripts that resolution is let's say FullHD and Window Size is most common size of maximized window on default Windows installation in such resolution and be done with it? Although I always force YT to be in one column, so I would need an on-per-site basis ability to turn off such faking.

    As far as I can tell DoH is not enabled by default on LibreWolf. You have to choose a DNS server on your own to even use it. I don't understand where Cloudflare is coming from on your installation.

    I for one now use 3 browsers (LibreWolf, Mukllvad and the Linux Mint modify Firefox browser) but it seems to me that people are demanding more private browsers which in my option is should have been always the case but nope it has not being but it seems to becoming the norm to have privacy free browsers of course they are not going to be 100% private but hey they are better then most browsers now a days but then again browsers is like choosing the next president who is the less evil of all of them and which one is more private for me LOL so I just get tired of switching browsers because I went form using the official Firefox to Linux Mint modify Firefox (which is great) to Waterfox (has turned into evil so big no no) then LibreWolf (excellent) and now Mullvad (becoming excellent) but boy what ride is has been with browsers but I guess it the same with communications applications like email clients and instant messaging and media applications such as media players and music players etc so it just changing with time I guess it just I am like an old dog who can do new tricks but chooses not to if given the choice LOL but I guess we all need to involve to better things I guess :)

    LibreWolf browser provides better privacy by protecting against 23 URL parameters that can track you. Mullvad and Tor browsers do not.

    Howzit STW, excellent video I use Librewolf and it works well for what I need a chrome replacement that is secure. I have trouble deciding what is the best private search engine I used to be a DDGO user however since they are in bed with MS I am using Google and I do not like it at all.
