    Thanks for summarizing this for me. I think I could just use a vpn and librewolf to accomplish what you are talking about with the tor browser.

    Librewolf wipes everything once it’s closer and it pretty basic if you use the default settings.

    Are people using it to casually browse Lemmy and stuff?

      I use librewolf, but for me the first thing to change was to do not delete things on exit. I’m looking for a better firefox, not a lighter tor browser
