Tor browser is not Tor.

This is Tor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network)

Tor browser is an additional piece of software built on top of it. Using the network(what everyone else means when they say tor) is unfortunately not enough to prevent fingerprinting.

    Good point, that difference does matter. I guess other browsers like Brave use the Tor Network, and it would be misleading to suggest Brave has good anti-fingerprinting.

    What kind of fingerprint avoidance are you suggesting then that the Tor browser cannot do that makes a difference?
