Add more information to question: "Can I use Tor with a browser besides Tor Browser?"

In https://support.torproject.org/tbb/tbb-9/ we say it is not a good idea to use another browser, because it leaves you vulnerable without the protections of Tor Browser.

We could explain more what are those protections, specially with links etc, so it becomes more clear to the user.

@emmapeel Shall I add that Tor has many Security Features by default and provide the link to this page?

@raviteja-guest yes, but let's go beyond 'many security features' and explain more about:

• Tor Browser anti-fingerprinting mitigations
• Websites can’t track you or see other sites you visit (cross-tracking)
• Isolates cookies
• Writes nearly nothing to disk
• No browser history

I just closed #338 (closed) as the duplicate of this one.

My two comments from over on 338:

• In the past, I have pointed such users to
  https://2019.www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/

  In a sense it is overkill ("too long didn't read"), but also sending users to that page serves the purpose of showing them that it is more complicated than they think, and if they want to use a different browser than Tor Browser then they are going to need to learn a lot of things before they can do it safely.

• Another link users might find interesting is Arthur's https://privacytests.org/

  It is an external link, and exactly the sort of thing that we will notice in four years has become out of date and a bad thing to link to, but it could be a worthwhile choice even so.
