From what I’ve heard in the past, Mozilla is doing a good job upstreaming work from the Tor Browser devs and putting it behind an about:config value, if they don’t use it in Firefox. So, assuming your hardened Firefox uses the right config values and browser extensions, there should be relatively few differences…
@Ephera @rhymepurple No. Privacy by option is worse than no privacy at all. Non technical people would install firefox because they read somewhere that it safe, but ultimately they would use it as it is thinking that is safe out of the box.
@rhymepurple@lemmy.ml did specifically ask about hardened Firefox, which literally means Firefox with configuration changes to make it more secure.
Having said that, personally I do think Firefox’s default experience is close to the best you can do for people that really just want to install without thinking about it.
Going beyond that quickly results in broken webpages. And broken webpages require that you know what you’re doing, so you can unbreak them, if needed.
