    the Freedom of the Press Foundation’s Holmes suggests users try the private browsing feature in the Brave browser, which uses a stripped-down version of Tor’s anonymous routing by default.

    Better alternatives than this? I use a VPN but not Tor at the moment

      I don’t think there is a middle ground between a VPN and Tor.

      As much as I don’t like Brave this seems like a good feature. There do seem to be some problems with it leaking in some circumstances though.

      For the curious, Brave page about private windows with Tor Here

      If you’re gonna get another browser, why not cut out the middleman and just use TOR Browser directly?
