What's the best Firefox-based browser? (lemmy.today)

I need extensions way too much to use something built from scratch, so as Firefox joins the enshittification bandwagon, what's the best Firefox-based browser I should check out?

Firefox

Librewolf is a pretty easy choice.

Just as a warning, LibreWolf inherently messes with the browser time zone as a key aspect of its programming, so if you schedule videos for publication (for example), they'll publish at a way different time. Seeing how there was no way to easily turn off its time zone obfuscation was what reverted me to Waterfox. It can also mess with scheduled messages or timestamps in chat apps.

Thanks for posting this! I use WhatsApp Web, so seems like this may cause me problems...

You can revert the timestamp to normality but the process is convoluted and I don't remember it as I only found our after uninstalling it.

Zen is pretty cool.

I like the look of this, have you used it much? I've been using a mixture of Fennec on mobile and Librewolf/Waterfox on desktop for a bit now, but some of Zen's features look pretty useful.

Definitely recommend replacing Fennec with IronFox on mobile, it's a fork of Mull, so it'll be a solid privacy upgrade!

What's the add-on situation like? I've been using Iceraven because of its extensive add-on support, way beyond Mozilla's curated list. But privacy centered it is not.

The add-on's are solid. They have an elaborate curated list, plus you can access any of the mobile extentions by just searching for em.
