> Tor Browser is probably the worst of the “main stream browsers” you could be running for security. If it didn’t have its strong fingerprinting protections, it would not be worth using at all.

From the GrapheneOS usage guide:

> At the moment, the only browser with any semblance of privacy is the Tor Browser but there are many ways to bypass the anti-fingerprinting and state partitioning. The Tor Browser’s security is weak which makes the privacy protection weak. The need to avoid diversity (fingerprinting) creates a monoculture for the most interesting targets. This needs to change, especially since Tor itself makes people into much more of a target (both locally and by the exit nodes).
