Do you use any forks instead of default Firefox? If yes, which ones and why?

Librewolf, it’s got better anti-fingerprinting, still lets you define your own search engines, and never implemented AI (at least last I checked).

I still use Firefox for when certain sites have a hissy fit with Librewolf’s safeguards (banking, health insurance, etc.) but otherwise it’s my standard.

I hope I get to keep using Firefox in a world where chrome becomes the defacto browser on all mainstream platforms like ie once was.

This is already the case.

Nowhere close to the >95% market share IE had in the early 2000s.

Have you used the containers? I find using the banking container mitigates it for my banks. Its usually my VPN that causes issues now.
