The Librewolf project appears to be the best of all! I will try it.

edit: Statement below is incorrect, Brave is a Chromium fork.

I do note that Brave, Tor, and Librewolf are forks of Firefox. This in my opinion is an additional reason to support Firefox. Everyone else appears to be plundering naive users' browser telemetry.

Be prepared for stuff to break. I recently tried it and DRM content sometimes doesn't work no matter what you enable (my recent example is Udemy, which the devs claim happens in other FF forks). Also, by default it wipes history/sessions when you close it, which can be a rude surprise.

Brave isn't a fork of Firefox, it is a Chromium-based browser.

Uh, I believe that Brave is based on Chromium, not Firefox...

This is incorrect. Libre Wolf is a Firefox fork.

On Android, look at Mull until Libre Wolf is available there.

On iOS, lol, you get Safari or skinned Safari due to Apple's app store rules.

What does Libre Wolf have to do with Brave?
