What browser are we using now? :(
Mozilla has just deleted the following:
“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”
“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "

zen & nightly, both firefox-based. rest of the decent options are chromium-based. once you start looking into it, you quickly realize how few options we really have when it comes to browsers.
I have used Nightly before when it was still actively being developed a few years back. Miss the days when ice fox and water fox was life.
How do we build a better browser for Web 3.0?

How does this affect TOR network being that it’s Firefox based?
TOR is not firefox based.
it’s not really firefox itself, it’s mozilla. zen is also firefox-based, but they have their own policies.
The **Tor Browser**, which is the most common way people access the Tor network, is built on Mozilla Firefox’s open-source code.
Uses a modified version of Firefox’s Gecko engine and is hardened with additional privacy and security features.
The Tor Project team customizes this Firefox base to integrate it with the Tor network, adding things like the Tor protocol, proxy settings, and anti-tracking measures that vanilla Firefox doesn’t have.
So, while the Tor Browser is derived from Firefox, it's not even close to being the same thing.
