Dunno if you have taken a look at Palemoon.

If I already have to switch the browser, I might as well switch to Vivaldi.

But neither of them is good enough. (Especially Palemoon’s UI is painful to look at, and hard to fix).

Well Palemoon is a fork of pre-Australis Firefox that is trying to maintain compatibility with the existing XUL extensions as best i can tell, so i figured the transition would be smaller than going to a webkit/chrome based browser.
