Firefox needs a 180° turn to full privacy out of the box.

I hope you feel better after typing all that, because I didn’t need it.
Don’t know where all the “private browsing” stuff came in, as if I mentioned anything about using a browser’s “privacy mode”, because I didn’t.
You appear to have conflated some of what I said, but I honestly don’t care enough to figure out where. Use whatever you want, it doesn’t matter to me, but casting Mullvad browser as pointless when it just doesn’t fit your particular needs or preferences is just ignorant.
You asked what we’re using, that’s what I’m using.
No I didnt attack you or something? Huh?
I just said Mullvad is a new browser that simply copies Torbrowser but without Tor. And this is annoying as they are adding a new fingerprintable browser that is uselesd for many works because of PB, so people use plain firefox and think "privacy is uncomfortable".
Torbrowser is this "anonymity mix kit" that also forgets everything you did. I dont need that as for many threat models its not needed. But its the Torbrowser and thus has a shared fingerprint.
Switching off private browsing to then allow you to save sessions and pinned tabs for example, makes you stick out.
I wrote with the Mullvad Devs already and they dont care. They just copy torbrowser.
Librewolf is the better browser, its not branded and actually has GUI settings added. And they dont use private browsing, even though its amnesic by default, just like arkenfox.
It makes no sense to use Private browsing, and its a pain to deal with
Are you done with your Ted talk?
Ok
