There's three use cases for different types of folks, all avoiding directly supporting Mozilla's incompetence and malicious political aims (at the expense of the few actual employees left):
  • LibreWolf - For those who want an Ungoogled Chromium equivalent on Gecko, including the pre-hardened setup that also encourages complete hardening for those who desire it.
  • Mullvad - Compliments the VPN developed by the same company and its employees, and is more in line with (although not a replacement for) Tor in its setup; this browser is for those who want more security than hardened Firefox or preconfigured LibreWolf, without the web performance drawbacks of Tor.
  • Tor - The "former" browser project of one of Israel's many proxy states (USA) that can get you fucked IRL if you're not careful with how you use it (and can still get you fucked even if you are, depending on your luck with exit nodes). Use with discretion, and lots of risk mitigation; that means don't use it on the same hardware, or software profile, you do other shit on.
