ESR is the longterm "stable" version without feature updates, aimed at business customers/larger companies. Do you really believe it's less secure than the experimental standard branch?
I have no opinion there, my previous post was a direct copy from Mozilla Support, the link below the text. I guess they know their product better than anyone else. At least they should.

I just learned Opera comes with a built-in VPN you can enable.    Can't get to AH website or forum with it enabled however.

If I understand correctly, with Opera... you can hit the high notes.

Isn't Opera Chinese-owned?

Did some research and I concur.  While still a Norwegian company and supposedly subject to Norwegian privacy laws, personally I find Chinese ownership unsettling.   Looking for another browser myself now.
