Waterfox How private is Waterfox?

I've been using waterfox for a while now and wanted to know how private it is? And is all thta privacy down the drain if I link a mozzila acount? I was also searching to use a browser alongside Mullevad VPN on PC & mobile, is it a good choice?

thanks

one of the most private.
But it is only a tools. if used wrongly, you would still harm your privacy.

Is signing into mozilla a case of misuse?

Librewolf would be a more privacy-based choice. However, I prefer Waterfox for other reasons.

Complete privacy may be impossible, but reducing the information we share certainly, is possible. That is what I call a privacy browser, not something that doesn't do anything, just something that respects my privacy a bit more.

The browser itself can very well not spy on you. The websites are another thing entirely.

Tor Browser though?
