I know BAT's controversial but there's a lot to like about Brave's solution to the surveillance problem, miles better than Google's Privacy Sandbox, and whatever it is that Mozilla is trying to do.
The thing I don't get is, why do such a poor job at implementing a feature?
Tor is synonymous with anonymity. Adding a "Tor tab" without the guarantees just reeks of a "me-too" feature and lacks that serious security and privacy posture Brave is known for (or wants to be known for).
I mean, Brave comes down pretty hard on others [0]; I wish they held themselves to higher standards [1]. Forget about striving for anonymity by resisting all sorts of sophisticated fingerprinting attacks; leaking DNS is plain embarrassing.

- Forbo 6y ago"whatever it is Mozilla is trying to do" is called Tor Uplift. They're trying to implement as much privacy protection as possible from Tor Browser into mainline Firefox. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Tor_Uplift https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Tor_Uplift
