So, I found some Firefox forks. Those would be: floorp, zen browser, tor browser and librewolf. Could anyone help me decide which one to use?

    I use Librewolf as my daily driver for most things, then Mulvad when I don’t want any fingerprinting.

    Mulvad is highly underated IMO.

      Mullvad Browser isn’t bullet proof, it will not prevent fingerprinting entirely, though it makes it less reliable, especially if it isn’t sophisticated.

      I’m pretty sure that they removed a lot of the telemetry in a very recent update, so I’m not sure how it stacks up now.

    Zen will give you the most functionality. Librewolf will give you the most privacy and security.

    My setup is librewolf as main, ungoogled chromium as backup for problematic sites.

    If you’re a really “mainstream” user not really caring about privacy and such use Floorp or Zen.

    If you’re caring about privacy at least a bit and want to get a pleasing experience, use Waterfox.

    If you’re a bit more serious about privacy use Librewolf (mainly for privacy itself) or Mullgad Browser (for anonymity and fingerprinting). (These browsers are totally usable if you care about privacy and can be 100% used as daily drivers)

    Lastly, you shouldn’t use Tor Browser in replacement of the traditional Firefox as it’s firstly meant to use it with the Tor network and to only browse some sites that are not tracking every move. (The same goes a bit with Mullvad (excepting the fact that Mullvad is not meant to browser the Tor network), it’s an anonymity browser in the sense that you shouldn’t use it to connect to the GAFAM fucking services that will suck 100% your datas, in this case of high privacy without really needing pure anti-fingerprinting and anonymity you should use Librewolf)

    That’s it hope you will succeed in your journey! :)

    Last advice : You can also harden the default Firefox with some user.js (like the arkenfox or betterfox one) but as today it’s really no more useful in my opinion as forks are doing the same things without the configuration hassle of setting up your new browser. Have a nice day

    Whatever you end up choosing, make sure it gets regular updates. Not being up-to-date with security updates/patches negates any security/privacy you get.

    I’ve been using Zen and Librewolf, I recommend both of them but Librewolf will give you the privacy out of the box. A friend of mine uses Floorp and he seems happy with it.

    What would be a good option for the iPhone environment (changing phones not an option)? There are four different Tor browser apps from different developers. Using DuckDuckGo right now, but any other better options?

      Onion browser from Mike Tigas was recommended as alternative to official one for iPhone by developers. For normal browsers you currently have Firefox, Firefox focus and Orion from kagi. Those options are safest ones from what I know on iPhone

    Mullvad browser is also another great Privacy web browser but probably be more suited if you have a active subscription to mullvad VPN since it’s point is to blend in with other mullvad VPN users.
