        I second this recommendation. No sponsored stuff, no telemetry, no setup screens, the search engines include the fan-favorite Startpage but not the sponsored Perplexity. The only thing they could have done to make this easier for me would be to install uBO out of the box, but that’s a super minor complaint.

      I’ve been on ironfox for a few months. My browsing is mainly “small web” sites and news sites. I’ve really liked it but rarely I need to dial down security on some e commerce sites. Banking sites and my local municipal bill pay work.

      Edit: Waterfox is probably the best for average users

      Ironfox, Fennec, and IceRaven are all mobile FF forks. I can’t speak on the positives and negatives of them, unfortunately
