Hi, I user the lastest version of Linux Mint 22.1 Xia.

I did downloaded the last version of BleachBit (4.6.2), and when I run BleachBit I only have the browser Firefox in BleachBit. On my system I have the Brave browser and the LibreWolf browser but these two are not in BleachBit.

Is there a way to 'Add' them to BleachBit?

P.S. A friend of me have PCLinuxOS, and also uses these 3 browsers, and after he installed BleachBit all of them are in BleachBit.

Firefox is not a privacy friendly browser, so I did install LibreWolf and the Brave bowser, so I don't use Firefox anymore. So I miss LibreWolf and Brave in BleachBit.

On this page you find a test of privacy friendly browsers: https://privacytests.org/

Is there something I can do?

Many thanks!
Klaus

For Brave and LibreWolf, do you have multiple profiles or profiles in non-standard locations? Did you install them using apt, snap, flatpack, or another method?

The latest librewolf.xml expects librewolf on Linux to be in ~/.librewolf . The latest brave.xml expects your data is under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser . If these are not correct, you can edit those xml files. Long term, it's best to submit the corrections to GitHub as a pull request or issue.
