Answer 1

Technically you can use middleware (see https://www.valentinog.com/blog/django-middleware/ ), but context processors are by far the better option.

I guess the use case for middleware would be if you need to change what parameters your passing to the context based off of the response , rather than the request like a context processor allows you to do.
