Firefox might be the "lesser evil" but that don't mean they're a saint.

If you're concerned about privacy you're gonna have to do abit of the legwork yourself. Arkenfox Is probably the quickest way to harden standard Firefox and I've used it for years without issue.

If you want a more out of the box solution then then Librewolf is a privacy focused fork with much better defaults and most of the questionable crap just ripped straight out of the code.

Firefox is full of tracking and paid advertisement links (default links on homepage and new tab page, stories, etc.), but this can be cleaned out quite well through user.js settings.

Both excellent choices. Mullvad Browser and Tor are also options but the ones you mentioned are better for the average end user who cares about privacy. Since 95% of people I know do not.

I use all four in different machines and for different tasks.
