Hi. I like Mullvad a lot, but it seems to block even basic features like external link opening, password importing (has it, doesn't work) and just prevents a smooth workflow. I LOVE how transparent and "locked down" it is save for those hiccups. Is LibreWolf as "locked down"? I'm new to digital privacy, looking for a very safe and private browser that doesn't prevent me from doing my daily digital tasks and routines. Please lmk.

Pros

• Feels super safe. Every feature I've never seen before, I looked up to find it solves a privacy issue I was never even aware of.
• Popups about blocking popups are helpful to see what goes on in websites.
• Overall is the most locked down browser I have ever used.

Cons (If any of these problems can be solved, PLEASE tell me how!)

• Mullvad is apparently so locked down that I can't properly import my passwords. I've had to open other browsers which have my passwords stored just to find them.
• Mullvad blocks a lot of incoming and outgoing traffic, including Reddit, Zoom, torrent/magnet links, video game client and online forum login links. I have to switch my default browser to open links between different programs every time.
• A slower workflow, less friendly for study, office work, people who constantly log in and out of online accounts.

Overall, Mullvad seems to be an excellently private browser that is way safer than any mainstream option. However, it feels like it's so locked down that it blocks the regular necessities a browser should have. I have to turn to other browsers for some of the most basic things like passwords and external links. Are there ways to fix this so Mullvad can work as my one&only daily driver? Or am I better off with a browser like Zen or LibreWolf? Any advice or comments are appreciated.
