LibreWolf, on the other hand, works by spoofing a different fingerprint every session. Is that true? I think it’s not that much of a fundamental difference in strategy as you say. While LW (like MB) does randomization of e.g. WebGL and Canvas fingerprints, in general other fingerprintables are also kept static. From my perspective it’s more a difference in degrees than direction. Have you checked how your font fingerprint persist? I believe both Mullvad Browser and LibreWolf come with uBlockOrigin pre-installed Not exactly. LW comes without the addon but is configured to download and install uBlock Origin from addons.mozilla.org the very first thing it does. This is in contrast with Mullvad Browser (which does bundle the addon) and Konform Browser (which will load locally installed system uBO from known path if installed from distribution package manager). If you’re looking for something to use with actual accounts (like banking), use hardened Firefox (with arkenfox) or a hardened chromium browser. Konform Browser is intended to support that use-case and also worthy for consideration. Would be curious to hear if you agree or how you think it falls short!

    I think the main difference is that MB is geared for every user to look the same, whereas with LW every user is presumably unique, but not persistent between sessions. I haven’t heard of Konform, so I’ll have to look into it. Thanks!
