This is long overdue, a privacy fork of Firefox for everyday use.  Everybody else has been using Chromium.

Seems like a great project, I hope it gets some legs.  I'll install it on my main once someone ports it over to the Pi.

I've been using it for a while, but to be honest - I've never liked browsing on Firefox. Seems slower and it's a feeling I just don't enjoy. I use Brave at the moment and I know it's Chromium based. Everything seems to work the best on it, unfortunately. I'm waiting for the new Duckduckgo browser. I might change to it when it comes out.
