There's also LibreWolf.

LibreWolf may be a great and private browser for simple websites, but it’s definitely not your gateway to modern web applications. It locks down so much through a configuration override that a good chunk of modern web functionality just won’t work (WebRTC, for example). I gave up after about 5 times of looking up a problem and changing the configuration file without an end in sight.

They go a bit far for my taste.

Thanks. Didn't know about this one. The site is here: https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/

Years ago together with another guy I created LibreFox. I came up withe the original concept that is still used (No telemetry, private search, uBlock Origin by default, default security and privacy settings).

We quickly heard from Mozilla's lawyers: "Eliminate the Fox from your name or we sue you!".

So we abandoned the project, but seeing the website you posted, my concept has lived on, and the gitlab seems to be pretty active as well!

I still think that WindWolf or WaterWolf would have been better. Like it though :)
