True, but it is insanely slow, and blacklisted by many websites.

https://librewolf.net/ and Mull at https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps are good options as well if you rather not use TOR.

Yeah I use both

And you shouldn't use it for anything sensitive. Anonymous browsing is great, but since you don't control the exit node, the average user isn't guaranteed absolute security.
