MODERATORS
Should I be interested in this if I already use hardened Firefox?
Yes, it's more anonymous than firefox with mods/addons. You can do "fingerprint" tests online to compare how unique your browser is. Just use the Mullvad Browser daily - and if you need something special - than you can still use a other solution for the special case.
Addons yes. But hardened means changing the user.js with arkenfox as base or simply use that premade hardening. Mullvad Browser is nothing but Firefox+arkenfox+fancy UI and no Flatpak available.
Other vectors are fonts, which only work in the Tor browser bundle I think, to really fake being on Windows.
NoJSFingerprint using CSS is also still possible, a way to detect your OS. this is the same on all Browsers.
Just do a Fingerprint Test:
Is the other Browser better? No, you will have less privacy protection.
