Thoughts on Firefox forks? (lemmygrad.ml)

Yesterday I accidentally wiped my Firefox profile. Upon creating a new one I was hit with the realisation of just how many shit defaults Firefox has. This made me consider using a fork which un-enshittifies Firefox.

There is only one that I know of, LibreWolf. Thankfully it seems actively maintained. So on Windows I have started using that for now. On Linux I still use Firefox because the enlightened repository maintainers don't allow any Firefox/Chromium forks and I don't wanna use Flatpak or pacakge it myself.

Are there any other forks worth considering?

The official ESR branch. This version gets frozen in time and they only do security updates for it. Doesn't update often and works great.
