    By default the Linux Mint package takes precedence.
    This firefox.pref file ensures the PPA version takes precedence.

    https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/hacks-mint.html#ID9
    (this is an example to get Firefox from the Ubuntu sources)
    He saves the file without extension, which is fine. See 'man apt_preferences'.

    As a matter of fact Firefox still covers more than Brave as can be seen here by looking at the Librewolf results. Librewolf is actually nothing special - it just comes with dFPI, RFP (Resist Fingerprinting) and some other things enabled by default which is not (yet) the case in Firefox (but will be in the future - see the State Partitioning results for the nightly builds) . (And Librewolf comes with uBO installed by default.)

    I was curious in another site whether Brave’s own fingerprinting nature is accurate in these tests. So far I haven’t seen anyone explain if that is the case

    https://jshelter.org/farbling/

    https://brave.com/privacy-updates/4-fingerprinting-defenses-2.0/

    Also it appears (as for this article. Don’t know if they are currently doing so) they are trying to work on things like HSTS cache which Firefox already covers as shown in the Privacy Test
