About Brave Browser...
I didn't include it in the list because they use shieldcoins that pay users to view ads. I don't like this model, but in terms of privacy, this browser would still be better than Chrome
Is not that way... you can disable that option, and instead use something like Slice (an addon for your browser that pays sats for ads. More info at my site).
I'm using Brave as my main browser both computer and phone, and also for work. Also, i'm using Brave Search, as the other search options require email or are not working properly for some searches I usually do.
At first, I used the ads option, receiving BAT as reward, but it was required to have a KYC'd account, so I decided to stop using that, and instead try Slice (https://addslice.com/?crew=6Drqk).
More things I like about Brave:
- It's easy to set up, customize and sync with any device.
- It will automatically block ads on Youtube and other sites, loading faster, and also blocks cookies.
- Has an option to use Tor (tought is not as using the Tor browser itself).
- Has an integrated shitcoins wallet, but is self-custodial, as it gives you your keys, or allows to import from another wallet.
- Also, the search engine, works like charm.
About your options...
  • Librewolf: I was not able to install on Windows 10. Lot of problems to download and execute the installer.
  • Mullvad: I was not aware of the existance of this browser. Gonna research, but I'll stay with Brave.
  • Firefox: the best alternative to any other browser, yet it requires a lot of configuration to set privacy as main focus.

Yes, I know there is an option to disable this option on Brave. Even Slice doesn't work for me, since I don't want to have any ads on my device at all. But that's my personal stance.
About Firefox. I've attached a link where you don't need to configure almost anything manually, you can download a ready-made settings file.
