You can run the tor browser without tor.

env

  TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1
  TOR_TRANSPROXY=1
about:config

  extensions.torlauncher.start_tor = FALSE
  network.dns.disabled = FALSE



Right. I'm struggling to understand the need for this. Does this browser provide some seamless access to some free-tier Mulled service? If not then it seems like a marketing difference to the TOR browser, which can be used with a VPN and have the TOR bit switched off.


This page[0] lists the differences from the Tor browser[0]. It has the Tor specific features removed, different default extensions, enabled webRTC, and added Mullvad's DoH resolver.
