Tor Is based on Firefox.

For added anonymity, It's good practice to also run a VPN alongside Tor. Compatibility permitted, have two VPNs. Both ZenMate VPN & Express VPN are compatible as per my setup:

Spoiler:

The connection will be "VPN > VPN > Tor > Exit Node > Destination Server".

You can use a browser called QuteBrowser which is mostly command line based and does not use alot of ram and is writtern in python.

Today I learened there is a difference between the Tor service itself, the Tor browser, and setting up manual proxy chains. I also set up a vpn for free today and managed to get that setup manually as well. Though Im not sure why my teacher said its rather redundant to use both, proxy chains and a vpn at the same time. Maybe I miss understood him, or the lesson itself. perhaps someone here can clarify?

Firefox is pretty cool, I have certain addons that help with anonymity. discovered:

privacy badger
decentraleyes
disconnect
ublock origin
https everywhere

I have messed with umatrix as well but that will break websites if you dont know how to set it up correctly.

All this helped me to understand more of how browsers and the Internet itself work.

Hundred percent go with Firefox. If you can get around the hassle of it crashing it's the best option for privacy and simplicity.

This Is the most effective ad blocking/content-filtering extension I've tried thus far.

I fully recommend It.

Google Chrome is always best option

Throwing out a recommendation for Palemoon. Firefox fork that doesn't suck nuts. KDE's default browser, Konqueror, is pretty nice too. A tad rough but super fast.

Chromium on linux, always.
