          I posted the list of alternatives simply because OP asked for forks.

          What’s wrong with Firefox

          Me posting this list shouldn’t be an implication that I believe Firefox to be bad. I’m offering alternatives as the OP requests.

          and how do the forks address those points?

          Every one of the links I shared have detailed information about how their product mutates the original Firefox or Chromium browser. Do you really need me to copy-paste that information into a comment?

      Other people have given desktop examples. For Android, I use Mull, which also has a companion Android System Webview implementation (Chromium) called Mulch. These are baked into the DivestOS ROM, which itself is a fork of LineageOS.

          Yes, full support for desktop Firefox extensions. I think it also comes with uBlock Origin by default.

            Just saw it does support custom add-on collections like Firefox beta and nightly… I’m going to give it a try

            Edit: it supports startpage as search engine out of the box as well!

              All I can say is try DivestOS :)

              My opinion: It doesn’t have full customisation (compared to eg. CRDroid) but it does at least have call recording and long press back button = kill app process, along with traffic monitors for the status bar. All regular phone calls have a banner at the top reminding you that they’re not secure (as opposed to E2E encrypted chat calls over the internet) and Location permission settings seem to be a bit more expansive than other ROMs.
