About these tools
A browser sees everything you read, so who makes it matters. Firefox is the full-featured choice from a nonprofit, LibreWolf is Firefox with tracking stripped out, Tor Browser hides where you are, Mullvad Browser makes you look like everyone else, and Ladybird is a new engine being built from scratch.
Nearly all of them run on Firefox's engine, and that is the quiet point: a web with more than one engine stays open.
How to choose
For most people Firefox is the easy move, and you can tighten its settings or switch to LibreWolf later. Pick Tor Browser when you need to stay unobserved and can accept slower pages. Expect a few sites to misbehave in the stricter browsers.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good alternative to Chrome?
Firefox runs on its own engine, comes from a nonprofit, and works with nearly every site.
Which browser is the most private?
Tor Browser hides your location by routing traffic through several relays, at the cost of speed. LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser reduce tracking without that cost.
Can I move my bookmarks over?
Yes. Browsers import and export bookmarks as standard files, so switching loses little.
