Pale Moon IS Firefox, Opera has been pure shit since everything after version 12, and Brave browser is based on serving you its own fucking ads, so fuck that.

I've got hopes for Vivaldi getting good eventually.

Using Vivaldi now. Needs quite a few new features but it has potential.

Isn't Vivaldi built on chrome?

Also not fully open source, though Brave is.

I think so, but I'm not 100% sure.

The Tor Project decided to use Firefox of addons and foss, migrating to another browser would be pain in the ass. And not everyone use TBB to bypass censorship, someone just wants to have a quite life.

I hope TBB will be changed to something else.

There's a zero-day exploit in the wild that's being used to execute malicious code on the computers of people using Tor and possibly other users of the Firefox browser, officials of the anonymity service confirmed Tuesday. Word of the previously unknown Firefox vulnerability first surfaced in this post on the official Tor website. It included several hundred lines of JavaScript and an introduction that warned: "This is an [sic] JavaScript exploit actively used against TorBrowser NOW." Tor cofounder Roger Dingledine quickly confirmed the previously unknown vulnerability and said engineers from Mozilla were in the process of developing a patch.

According to security researchers who analyzed the code, it exploits a memory corruption vulnerability that allows malicious code to be executed on computers running Windows.

that allows malicious code to be executed on computers running Windows.

Do I even have to say it?

Tor over Windows offers you the same protections browsing online, as a second hand goat intestine condom with a hole in it does fucking.
