I need extensions way too much to use something built from scratch, so as Firefox joins the enshittification bandwagon, what’s the best Firefox-based browser I should check out?

I like the look of this, have you used it much? I’ve been using a mixture of Fennec on mobile and Librewolf/Waterfox on desktop for a bit now, but some of Zen’s features look pretty useful.
Definitely recommend replacing Fennec with IronFox on mobile, it’s a fork of Mull, so it’ll be a solid privacy upgrade!
What’s the add-on situation like? I’ve been using Iceraven because of its extensive add-on support, way beyond Mozilla’s curated list. But privacy centered it is not.
The add-on’s are solid. They have an elaborate curated list, plus you can access any of the mobile extentions by just searching for em.
I’ve been using it for quite a while and it has almost eliminated my needs for another browser. It’s pretty good
Used Waterfox for years, made the switch to Zen which has quickly become my browser of choice. Mostly because I never realize it’s running. I can have, and currently do have a million tabs open and it barely affects my system. Which is nice.
It’s my main browser for a while now and I really like the vertical tabs and tab unloading which saves a lot of ram compared to regular firefox. Otherwise I think the split modes and the peeking feature are nice but I don’t use them that much.
