I currently use a few browsers on various platforms:
- Mullvad on Linux and macOS
- Firefox (w. Arkenfox User.js) on FreeBSD
- Safari (w. extensions & privacy settings changed) on iOS
However, I am finding the absence of any sort of cookie persistence in Mullvad and Safari to be a little annoying, as just about everything I use has 2FA enabled.
So, I was wondering what you would say a good choice for a second browser would be. I would use this to access a small number of privacy-respecting sites (such as CloudTube and Lemmy), which would involve saving cookies and allowing third-party content (i.e. googlevideo in CloudTube). Ideally, this should be Firefox or WebKit-based, and I would like suggestions for Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and iOS.
On macOS, I have not signed in with an Apple ID, so I can’t use the App Store; but I do have Homebrew and pkgsrc(7) installed.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I am NOT moving away from Mullvad. I’m looking for a COMPLEMENTARY browser which I can use for stuff like CloudTube.
LibreWolf or maybe ungoogled chromium …or Firefox with arkenfox’s user.js
Ungoogled chromium need to be hardened since its goal is to be a drop-in replacement of chromium without google.
I’m confused. Are you deleting everything nonstop on Safari? Because 2fa should be persistent on default.
As for a mullvad alternative, maybe librewolf.
I’m using Librewolf. The problem is that when cookies are deleted some sites will want to text you to “authenticate” your browser again. Your name and password alone are not enough.
It gets old doing this repeatedly. And it pisses me off that they act like they are being so secure by doing this yet they use a text instead of an authenticator app.
