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?
