So, I found some Firefox forks. Those would be: floorp, zen browser, tor browser and librewolf. Could anyone help me decide which one to use?

I meant more on the security front than UI, but Librewolf does mention "security" 5 times on their page so I guess they are probably more secure than base FireFox.

I can't believe Javascript on PDF's is enabled on default on Firefox. NOBODY wants that.
