Is it a true fork, or is it a project that follows the Firefox tree and builds a customized browser from it?
The difference being, if it’s a true fork, they have to do all their own browser engineering starting at the time it was forked off. That sounds like a monumental effort.
Im using LibreWolf. Its a fork of firefox. For me its the perfect balance between compatibility and privacy friendliness.

Project fork
Strange, because they say it’s a “custom version” of Firefox. That normally means it’s a custom build, not a true fork.
I started using librewolf about a month ago but I’ve (unfortunately) switched back to Firefox because of multiple compatibility issues.
Edit: I should add that I switched from Firefox to Fennec (a fork of Firefox) on my phone and that has been working fine.
Someone should ship librewolf with less stupid defaults
They do, its called Firefox.
Which is what I suggested they continue to use but for those who are concerned about privacy by default I would still suggest something in between.
