  This is what you want

  https://Librewolf.net

  It’s literally the latest FF but with the telemetry and AI ripped out, and proper adblocks etc

    If anyone tried Librewolf previously and found it too restrictive, I changed 2 settings that were game changers for me. I disabled fingerprint blocking and installed canvas blocker instead. Then I enabled Mozilla sync. Bam, perfect web browser for me at least.

      Ya I also use librewolf and I find it fairly intuitive to start at a more hardened place and enable convenience as needed. Though these days I find most sites work great even with full fingerprint protection.

        I have to disable the fingerprinting because it fucks up time detection. Like if I look at sports schedules it has me in a radically different time zone. Canvas blocker doesn’t cause that problem for me.

  Vivaldi is pretty nice

    Not an option anymore since they stopped supporting Manifest V2. uBlock Origin is mandatory for any browser today.

    Vivaldi is chromium, though.
