i'll probably fall even deeper into the rabbithole and end up on ironfox but for rn, waterfox is pretty good. although, i'm not exactly a browser power user, for example i'm confused by how bookmarks are organized. just for reference. good for ppl who want a simpler security focused GenAI-free browsing experience.

    I'd recommend a desktop browser for bookmark arrangement (and for experimenting with, and making sense of, how they work). I believe you can use Firefox Sync even with Waterfox (and most other forks), to put mobile bookmarks on your desktop Waterfox.

    Edit: Waterfox supports FF sync without any extra friction. Awesome.
