How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Tor names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Browser. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Tor also lists Firefox with VPN, ExpressVPN as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
