I know it isn't Firefox, but Brave is a Chromium-based browser that has Tor built-in with their 'Private Tabs'. It is a really nice privacy focused browser. Everything good about Chrome, without everything bad about Google.

Except, of course, its use of the chromium engine, which is something I think we should fight against. So, basically, one of the biggest anti-features of Chrome from Google.

Not to speak about Brave's business model, around basic attention tokens (my attention is not available, sorry). This is incompatible with privacy. Brave is an ad company! It may be in a nice phase where ads are opt in but it may not be like that forever.

The obvious browser closest to Firefox including Tor is Tor browser, based on Firefox, provided by the Tor project itself.

You mention the two most important points about Brave that are mostly overlooked when it is suggested as an alternative to Chrome:

1) There is no ecosystem diversification, Brave is built on Chrome!

2) Brave. Is. An. Ad. Company.

The only added value that’s important is respecting users rights online and privacy. Brave is as bad as any of them, and being Eich’s new business venture doesn’t inspire any trust none what so ever.

Why?

Tor tabs is useless without fingerprinting resistance, otherwise you still can be tracked.

Tor usage must be coupled with disabling of JavaScript. Otherwise, you will leak data regardless.

The very continued existence of Chrome is the bad thing about Google, Brave can only fix that by using the Firefox engine.
