Add-ons are a pretty huge security risk, though. Someone was just posting an article about how tempting it is to sell out with your extension, and how many offers you actually get.
The best solution is actually not Firefox, but Mullvad. No need for extensions, based on Tor Browser and can be bundled with a VPN that’s full of other people using the same browser - so you have exactly the same fingerprint, and they can’t tell you apart. Not by extensions, not by IP.
Based on his history it seems unlikely that gorhill, the creator of uBlock Origin would sell out.
And if something did change, there would be enough news about it to notify you. (Like the extension Avast bought a while ago)
IMO any of the forks are inherently weaker than the main and there’s nothing stopping you from making Firefox work exactly like whichever flavor of fork you prefer, but with security updates the day they come out.
Firefox with add-ons. Especially, but not only, Ublock Origin.

And I’ve already been burned once, and it’s not pretty. Also nothing you can do against this.

Really? The whole story about uBlock and uBlock Origin is shady AF.
Which is why I think he won’t ever risk it again.
Really?

How about crowdfunding for adblockers? Now THAT is something I’d gladly pay money for.
So you mean Librewolf

I also just like to support Mozilla where I can. They’re not perfect, but they’re doing a lot more good for the internet than Google are.
