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

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.
