In TOR what security level ddi you have set? Standard, Safer, or Safest?

There are two report options. choose detailed and then be sure to read each of the "LEARN MORE" tabs.

Personally I have come to prefer Brave to TOR as a secure browser. It is more usable as it takes a different approach to signatures. Rather than hiding the signature Brave randomizes it so that it is never the same. The only disadvantage is it is based on Google Chrome and uses Chrome extensions and I have zero trust in those extensions. Like TOR, Brave can use Onion Routing but it is an option.

In the meantime my go to browser is Safari Technology Preview. It isn't the most secure, but it has the best interconnectivity with my other major software tools and there is more to come in macOS 12, iOS 15, and iPadOS 15.

FWIW: I have submitted a suggestion to Apple that they randomize Safari's signature in the same way that Brave does. Who knows, it could happen.
