Reports of its death are GREATLY exaggerated. I would suggest continuing to simply use firefox and disable any future crap you don't prefer.

That said librewolf which is intended to be firefox with stronger privacy settings by default that said

Default settings break more websites
You have to get extensions manually from for instance github because it doesn't use mozillas addon (it can probably be enabled)
It doesn't use the built in password manager which is in fact privacy preserving so you have to enable it or use something else
you don't get syncing via firefox sync which is in fact already privacy preserving so you have to enable it if you want it
It doesn't remember cookies without manually adding an exception to each site this is extremely obnoxious. I'm sure its configurable though

At this time it is far easier to disable the few things that may be undesired from firefox vs turning librewolf into an acceptable option.

I experience little breakage with Librewolf, and when I do, maybe 75-85% of the time it is because the site only works with Chromium. I get extensions directly through the browser, I have not enabled anything as far as I am aware. And of course you can configure the cookie clearing. I quite like it, there are (in my case at least) not many exceptions you need to add before it works quite smoothly, but of course that depends on your usage.

I use plain old firefox there are few sites that require chromium. I have noticed that enhanced tracking protection and adblock can both break some sites. Whether it makes sense to turn them off or use a different site depends on the site.
