8 months only using Mullvad Browser - Pros/Cons & Questions

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.

Debating to switch to a different browser

Hey great people i am currently using Chrome as my main browser but kind of gettkng sick of its high RAM usage so looking to see if there are better alternatives.

I use different devices, 2 windows pcs and an android phone, i would like to be able to have bookmarks and history synced between the devices.

Build in adblocker is a big plus.

It would be nice if chromium based extensions can be installed on it as i use a few of them for different things (i.e. some developper extensions)

I often have a lot of tabs open on multiple windows, so having a decent ram usage or putting tabs in a sleep mode or so is a requirement as this is my main problem with Chrome at the moment.

I also need to have different profiles on it as i use chrome for both personal use and wprkrelated use but want to keep them seperated to not get bugged by work things when i am not working

Privacy is less of a concern to me as everybody already has all of my information but it would be a nice plus

Im open to try new browsers and see how they go for me if i hear good things about them from you guys.

Thanks a lot in advance for the suggestions!

Are there any Arc Search alternatives for iOS?

The app hasn't been updated in 6 months so I don't consider it safe to use anymore, but I really like the way they handle gestures, tab management and favorites. It's been great and I struggle to find a worthy successor.

I Tried using Orion but I just don't like it.

I might go back to Safari which I have been using for years, but it feels "lesser" to me.

Any suggestions?
