Firefox is less secure than Chrome, and the Tor browser is much more dangerous than Firefox.
A secondary reason we recommend Chrome is that the FIDO security keys work with that browser, while I believe they don't work yet in Firefox.
- jimrandomh 9y agoCould you elaborate on how the Tor browser is more dangerous than Firefox?
- idlewords 9y agoTo quote tqbf on this site, 'Do NOT EVER use Tor Browser. It's the least safe browser you can use: a lagged fork of Firefox for which whole classes of security bugs are potentially WONTFIX'd, and also the only browser that goes out of its way to collect high-value targets.'
