TOR browser is built off of Firefox and is even more private.

True, but it is insanely slow, and blacklisted by many websites.

And you shouldn't use it for anything sensitive. Anonymous browsing is great, but since you don't control the exit node, the average user isn't guaranteed absolute security.

https://librewolf.net/ and Mull at https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps are good options as well if you rather not use TOR.

[–] raistlin@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I use both

[–] clutchmatic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And you really need to trust Tor exit nodes
