Is Firefox still the recommended browser of choice here? (mander.xyz)

Asking after the privacy debacle and manifest. I'm not keeping up closely, but iirc Firefox is the browser recommended because of Ublock. After the privacy data issue I've noticed broken trust from Firefox users, recommendations in favor of switching browsers, and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won't be maintained for much longer.

So I'm here asking the seasoned sailors' thoughts, aye. Is this just a storm passing by or are you really considering jumping ship?

IIRC some parts of that project were integrated into Firefox rendering engine. Was it layouting or something?

Here it is:

This included the Quantum project, when portions of Servo were incorporated into the Gecko engine of Firefox.

Yes, some parts of the project were integrated into Gecko. But the project itself was abandoned. The original goal was to replace Gecko, not to patch some parts of it.
