Ok so where do I go? Waterfox?
I can vouch for zen browser! It’s been really good (so far)!
https://zen-browser.app/
In my experience, Zen's design and customization is really nice but it's also extremely buggy. Maybe to be expected, as I think they are still in their alpha release.
I was also concerned about maybe getting fingerprinted more easily since it's a very niche browser.
How's the extension ecosystem? Or is it compatible with Firefox/Chrome extensions?
So far everything I had on Firefox is working on zen.
While Zen has their own mods page that works better with it, Firefox extensions work well.
I don't know if the zen browser on the play store is the same as this one, but I just tried it out and got hit with an unskippable full screen 10 second ad. Not the experience I was hoping for.
Make sure you check the website that people link before downloading stuff--
It is not on mobile, so you might want to try some of the others listed in the thread
Yeah sync between phone and desktop is important unfortunately because of about a billion cloud things I use for work
Zen can still use Firefox sync to sync between desktop and mobile. Just have to use a firefox based mobile browser that didn't cut out firefox sync. I'm personally use Waterfox on Android, and Zen on Windows. My plan to move to linux by buying a new 2TB SSD is kind of on hold for now...
I believe zen is not available on android or iOS yet.

They should send a cease and desist to this app then.
