LibreWolf is a great alternative on Linux. It’s Firefox with all the bs stripped out and out-of-the-box privacy settings turned on.

This is what I have used for the last few years (after being a Firefox user for almost 2 decades), and yeah we're probably safe for a little while, but it seems the writing is on the wall. The LibreWolf team can only do so much when the core browser is constantly being enshittified. I hoped this was a flash in the pan thing and LibreWolf would save us until Mozilla regained its senses, but it seems they've gone batshit.

I too will be keeping my eyes peeled for what to use next.

I'm hoping LibreWolf and Iron Fox hold out long enough for Ladybird to take off and I'll be switching

What do you do to move your bookmarks/history over?

I really do like using Firefox sync. I know its probably bad but it is a super nice feature that works.

There's certain files you can tell the browser to generate that is basically a list of all that stuff. Then just point librewolf to them. Pretty sure the librewolf website has a step by step guide.
