Even using icecat with NoJS & self-destructing cookies (which are both extensions you absolutely should have, if you're going to= =20 use icecat over Tor) it still is inferior. One of the nicest things about tor-browser that is missing from every other browser is its tab isolation. Every tab you have open is an isolated session, with no shared cookies (and even different tor circuits iirc). This way you can't be tracked accross websites by your cookies. There are some other anonymizing features that I forget now, but that's the main one which stands out, and the point is that you should be very cautious using another browser via Tor.
