Comment on Why I recommend against Brave.

  I prefer either TorBrowser or Waterfox.

  TorBrowser is, hands down, the best privacy browser out there but it’s a bit slow because it operates like a decentralized VPN.

  Waterfox browser is built on Mozilla’s Gecko Engine just like firefox, but it isn’t managed directly by Mozilla.

    it isn’t managed directly by Mozilla

    I was about to make a snarky comment about how it is, however, owned by an advertising company, but then I found this.

    I haven’t heard of waterfox. I use TorBrowser sometimes. But mostly I use LibreWolf. Its based on Firefox also, but without Monzilla

    Is waterfox compatible with all or most firefox extensions? Also, can you import a firefox profile, and share between devices? I’m fairly invested in firefox, and would hate loosing functionality

      I don’t use very many extensions, but it works with all of the ones I’ve tried such as uBlock Origin.
