The #1 difference between all of them is that TraceFree is a remote browser, meaning the browser doesn’t run on your computer but in the cloud.

This enables the user’s computer to be isolated when browsing and offering a completely anonymous and virus free browsing session.

FYI Even if you use a VPN with Tor or Brave, the browser is still running on your computer. which does NOT make you completely private or secure.
