Funding can influence a project pretty significantly. Even mastodons like Linus Torvalds had to obey politics. Tor Project has been subjected by the diversity politics pretty quickly. You would expect more independence from rebellious cryptopunks.

Well, there are three points: the Tor network, the Tor Browser and the Tor Project. Tor Browser is a patched Firefox with all its potential vulnerabilities, yep.

I think it's pretty balanced. Tor is one of the best privacy tools, no doubt, but we also should be on guard and consider alternative projects like I2P, Lokinet, etc.

One of the reasons I like this list is that it contains things I've never heard of, including new search engines.

The only problem with Chromium is the lack of fingerprinting defenses. Brave is working on it.

Although Tor Browser is more mature and reliable at this point.

Brave is developing fingerprinting defenses too.

Of course, Tor Browser is a mature project and more reliable at this point. Let's hope Brave continues to strengthen its privacy and reliability.

Just tried it with a new profile. It leaks the word and opens a search page. I'm not sure why it opens test.com automatically for you.
It's ESR 78.
Following the discussion on /r/netsec, Bruce Schneier is also a director of the Tor Project ;)

I also like that you can edit your username. Just did it. Never seen this feature before.

Searx has multiple engines. If you're lucky enough, you can even get Google results. It must be Google bans Searx instances quickly because of heavy traffic or automated requests.
