Is it better to enable javascript in LibreWolf or switch to a different browser when a site needs it? Does switching browsers help in general? (lemmy.world)

I'm currently using LibreWolf (a Firefox fork) as my primary browser, with uBlock Origin set to block scripts by default on all but a few sites. When i need to use a site that's not one of these trusted ones and refuses to work without JS (for example, forums.linuxmint.com), is it better for my privacy to temporarily allow JS or to open the site in a different browser like FF or Vivaldi?

Does switching browsers actually make it harder to track me, especially ones that don't have full modern CSS and JS support like Dillo, Links2, Alhena, and NetSurf?

His main point wasn't private tabs, it was firefox containers. He only mentioned private tabs for deleteting cookies after closing those tabs.

Temporary Containers was really good for that, but it hasn't been updated in years.
