For incognito browsing I recommend Librewolf, a firefox fork. If you want anything more secure, you should start looking into tor
Why is librewolf superior to our of the box Firefox? Or mullvad browser for that matter?
It has included some privacy measures to resist fingerprinting like letterboxing and has more privacy focused search engines as default like searx. Also it takes out some firefox utilities like pocket which I don't really use
As for Mullwav browser I'm not really sure, it seems to be another reinforced firefox like librewolf
any benefits over Mullvad's browser?
https://mullvad.net/browser
Btw, here is a detailed, technical review. It is in German, but with transtae and all the code, it should be understandable.
TLDR: It's good.
I'm not really sure, I haven't used it. In fairness, I only use librewolf for incognito searches, not as a daily driver
i prefer to use librewolf as my everyday browser, while using mullvad as my browser for other things that dont require tor i like to keep things separated, personally
