I use WaterFox.
It has less tracking and more built-in privacy features than Firefox but is built on the same base
I use Fennec on mobile.
I'm curious: can we match the level of Waterfox with Firefox's add-ons: uBlock, privacy badger, etc.
Probably to a degree.
There're some nice UI features that I'm not sure could be achieved with extensions and some of the privacy features include having removed some statistics tracking that can't be disabled in stock Firefox.
Firefox also comes with some preinstalled extensions like Pocket, and that screenshot tool. With WaterFox you can choose not to install those.
