I use Librewolf and TBB. Both have NoScript enabled and JS turned off by default. I never turn on JS on TBB obviously, and for the few sites that I frequent on Librewolf, I tweaked it by hand. It’s not that hard.
I will look to also use Mullvad browser alongside Librewolf maybe, not sure which one of them is more private since Mullvad browser comes straight from the TOR project and has their security settings.
Librewolf also has Tor security settings
I’m using Mullvad browser for over a year on Linux and I can recommend. It’s basically TBB without TOR

Tor Browser is this kid wearing many layers of different masks and hoodies, and changing them randomly whenever the mood strikes.
Librewolf is just a usable Firefox
Firefox is a completely usable Firefox.
If you dont care about Ad search engines, Studies, Pocket, Google Safebrowsing, search suggestions, a start page with ads, weak privacy settings, all cookies saved forever, no adblocking, a unique canvas fingerprint, a user agent containing your Linux Distro,…
I went through the arkenfox user.js and literally all of it minus 20 or so settings just make sense. The rest are kinda overkill, but really, Firefox is horrible out of the box.
It is really modular luckily

Talking shit, but even you still have to recognize excellent software design.
Stop harrassing me please. Just because you are fine with something, you cant say anyone else is talking shit.
Firefox is really modular, and that makes it different from the other browers.
[Richard Stallman] usually does not browse the web directly from his personal computer. Instead, he uses GNU Womb’s grab-url-from-mail utility, an email-based proxy which downloads the webpage content and then emails it to the user.
If you’re not doing this you’re not properly paranoid.
I’m considering switching to LibreWolf after all the AI crap Mozilla is adding
Librewolf is great. I just add exceptions for a handful of sites I want to retain sessions for and it is very usable as a daily driver
I have modified Firefox. Might as well be Librewolf.
I was the same which was why I just switched to librewolf. Cut the work out for me.
Librewolf, but I’d argue it’s more of a Firefox/web debloater reason. No pocket, no VPN ads. I would have said that the only issue is that it is a pain to update, but they added a windows updater and software repos, so I would almost recommend it over stock firefox for normies.
And I use tor to search stuff that contains sensitive data like my location… Or when a website is blocked
Librewolf for normal stuff, Tor for stuff I don’t even want linked to my IP.
Librewolf enables fingerprinting preventation which makes some websites / fields very laggy. I can disable it but what’s the point of using Librewolf then? Also using FF is not paranoid, it is the only free software I installed that sticked with my family. Tor has a wholly different purpose.
Regular firefox and tweaked
NetCat. /s
Seriously though, I just use Firefox. LibreWolf is basically Firefox with stricter defaults, and over the years I’ve already tweaked Firefox to use all the privacy features anyway.
I know there’s some extra sauce implemented in LibreWolf that Firefox lacks, but that stuff seems like too much of a compromise for me (like canvas fingerprinting).
Plus, I think orange looks nicer in my window list than blue.
I also don’t use tor or a vpn unless I can’t access anything otherwise. I guess I don’t really see the need to, since I don’t think I’m doing anything that’ll draw the government’s attention.
I started moving from Firefox to LibreWolf and found a few too many convenient features broke.
I think password and bookmark syncing was too difficult to move away from, as I use them across devices/phone.
Haven’t had time to research alternative methods or practices.
You can turn off canvas fingerprinting or any added feature with a single checkbox. I used to feel the same way about LibreWolf, but once I familiarized myself with the different settings, it became clearly the superior option if you value privacy. I also set my Firefox settings strictly, but then they added new “features” and turned them on by default. That was the last straw for me.
Firefox may silently opt you into “features” such as targeted advertising. Librewolf acts as a barrier.
Also “nothing to hide” is fine if you have nothing to say and you don’t care about liberty.

Arkenfox if anything
Librewolf is better than Tor in some ways. Tor has ads
Gotta weigh in the benefits of privacy/features vs anonymity for your needs.
Librewolf. I yearn for something better for ios. I’m sticking woth firefox because all my tabs & shit are synced.
There isn’t going to be something better because of the locked down proprietary ecosystem. You might as well use Safari
