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.

    I use Librewolf on my laptop for most browsing, but I keep Google Chrome open just for Gmail, calendar, and drive. I know what you mean about losing the damn cookies making you suddenly have to get a text to authenticate again and that sucks.

    When I come across those sites I usually just pull them up in Chrome instead since I keep it open anyway. They are typically not tracking sites anyway and I’m using an adblocking DNS.
