Aside from the fact that it’s relatively new and unknown, does this hold a candle to other Firefox-based projects? They seem to be competent by their own comparison tables.

Has anyone got any first-hand experience?

I have no experience with this project. I will check it out.

And their main repo is on codeberg ! I’m a bit tired to keep track of Arkenfox’s changes. Will give this a try and compare the default user.js see if it could fit my need.

fun fact: Phoenix was the original name of the browser we now know as Firefox

I’ve been using mullvad’s browser on my laptop. It’s basically tor without the network, and has the lowest bits of identifying information exposed via the EFF test I could find. Havent tried this out though

I didn’t know Mullvad offered a free browser! Thanks for mentioning it.

Yeah, it seems that they even acknowledge that Tor and Mullvad are better for extreme threat models.

"The only browsers that can provide sophisticated fingerprinting protection against advanced scripts are Tor Browser & Mullvad Browser.

If you have an extreme threat model (Ex. Political dissident, journalist, or if you are in some other kind of high risk situation), please use one of those browsers."

I suppose we’d have to commend them for being fair.
