  • Why is Mullvad Browser recommended and LibreWolf not?
    3 projects | /r/PrivacyGuides | 16 Apr 2023
    Since the reasons reported for LibreWolf are not true (it is updated almost every week: https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/releases), could there be a new discussion about adding the browser to PrivacyGuides?
  • brave twitch.tv logging in "Your browser is not currently supported." under KVM
    2 projects | /r/archlinux | 15 Apr 2023
    i had this issue with LibreWolf (yes i know Brave is based on Chromium/Chrome and not Firefox) which was caused by RPF which is caused by Twitch blocking browsers other than Firefox/Chrome/Edge/Safari.

What are some alternatives?
