For fellow paranoids:
Mullvad browser is a fairly new Firefox fork which aims to reduce fingerprinting potential while also having sane (paranoid) defaults. Developed with the Tor project. Basically the Tor browser but without connecting to the Tor network. Passes coveryourtracks.eff.org.
SimpleX Chat is a fairly new privacy oriented IM platform which seems to address many issues current ones have. Development is very active. E2E, video and voice calls, decentralized, doesn’t have user ID of any kind.

Both projects sound great, thanks for explaining
-
Do you know how Mullvad browser compares to Librewolf?
-
Tor/Mullvad are better for anonymity use cases, but when you go tweaking it (settings, add-ons) you are no longer blending in with the pack. LibreWolf suits a more privacy-oriented use case I think since it’s not aiming to mimic Tor, but just have privacy settings mostly maxed out & you opt into everything you are comfortable with, such as cookies—whereas base Fx you have to opt into more privacy.
-
I mostly use librewolf as a substitute for private browsing. Firefox is my go to for places where I log in

It's librewolf if they had a VPN to shill to you
-
Honestly, I can’t remember specifics but I read some bad stuff about Librewolf a few months ago (nothing nefarious, just seems the developers didn’t necessarily really know what they were doing and made some weird design choices).
I trust the Tor project somewhat, so I tend to trust Mullvad browser more.
Edit: here’s some good information: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvad-browser/issues/1
