Tor Browser has many security changes made to it from vanilla firefox to make sure your privacy is protected. This is an interesting project, but it can't provide that same level of security. A disclaimer about this really should be on the github page.
Lots of people use their vanilla browser when connected to a VPN, this is not just for Tor, neither does it claim to be an alternative to using Tor browser or Mullvad browser.
I run a bunch of stuff from my phone down Tor on an app by app basis. It's not necessarily the added security but generating traffic and noise.
How do you do that? It sounds cool. I'd be happy to add traffic to the network.
