TOR would be good for anonymous browsing but not recommended for logging in to accounts you want to keep secure, unless you are absolutely sure you know you have it configured to use a trusted exit node. They can intercept you traffic.

Yeah—I am not a big TOR fan.

I prefer Brave, but also use Chromium when needed (like online banking, etc.). TOR is too darned slow :P

There used to be a plug-in that would create a fake header, so that the information passed on to the website you were browsing would see that the browser/windows size/OS/version/etc. would all be fake, so that it would really mess up your online ‘fingerprint’ and make it harder to track/trace/ID you.
I can’t remember the name of it though (It was pre-Firefox gone woke era though).
