I'm going to advocate for Zen here. https://zen-browser.app/ I've been using it for the past year or so and love using it so far. There's some bugs here and there but nothing that occurs often or breaks my workflow. And it's based on Firefox :)

I really want to like zen but every so often it eats all my RAM. Many have reported similar issues.

Thanks for sharing! Fortunately have not ran into this yet but obviously YMMV.

Why does their website seem like a clone of Anthropic's?

I've been using Zen since almost the beginning of the project. I'm pretty happy with it! Great QOL features, and being Firefox, I have perfect ad block and syncs nicely with Firefox for Android.
