Wow, I cannot sign into my #Zoho email account because #MullvadBrowser does not support WebAuthn. I don't plan to use passkeys like ever, but they refuse to give me access the password+OTP flow.
Well, I already decided to move away from this shitty email provider and was testing alternatives, I'll move forward a bit faster than planned.
@mjog #Opensource projects like #librewolf, #mullvadbrowser or #tor can be crowd-verified correct? :)
i tried a lot of browsers. but at the end of the day, i always comeback to a trinity of #firefox, the occasional #ungoogledchromium for compatibility and #mullvadbrowser for more private stuff/extra security. firefox is great, it doesn't really get better than firefox.
i will still whine about the lack of pwa support until it's added back though. i've been doing it for years, i'm still not tired. #mozilla, come on.
On my laptop (on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon), I get this message when I launch the Mullvad browser:
"Some of Mullvad's browser's security features may offer less protection on your current operating system"
When I click "How to fix issue," it goes to a Mozilla page that enumerates steps I do not understand because I am a non-techie.
I've since stopped using the Mullvad browser on Linux and just use LibreWolf and Brave instead.

Me when someone is still not using an open source browser is 2024. Like... Seriously!... It's such a no-brainer!
#Firefox got a ton of variants/forks recently.
- #Librewolf
- #MullvadBrowser
- #ZenBrowser
- #Midori
On Android #Mull (thanks @divested !)
So yeah I take Firefox + #Arkenfox user.js or Librewolf if they fixed their CI/CD
@ngmi You could consider other #opensource alternatives like #Mullvadbrowser ( @mullvadnet) / #Tor (@torproject) or #Librewolf
