Is there any alternative to the Smart Referer add-on for Firefox?
Now the problem is that it hasn't been updated since 3 years(last updated on Dec 18, 2019 according to AMO). Last commit on its gitlab repository was done on Sept 15, 2020. Now I am no developer, but I am sure that there has been quite a few changes in Firefox and some heavily discussed changes like MV3 and others are making its way to the browser as well. The add-on seems to have been abandoned by the developer judging by the activity in the repository.

How do I unbreak a website when it's related to Smart referer?
Well there's a read me here that talks about whitelists etc. From a quick look it seems like you could probably accomplish the same thing with ClearURLs or similar. The default whitelist seems to be out of date by three years. Isn't this thing abandoned?

Question: Does Brave and/or Firefox anonymize/hide the HTTP Referrer header?
If not, is there an option too? I saw this (GitLab - Smart Referrer) but I wasn't sure if it was necessary if Firefox and/or Brave already does this for me.

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
Cromite[0] is the best on Android, it's a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium.
Cromite has a desktop build, but it's a bit more experimental than the mobile build, so you can use Ungoogled Chromium[1] instead. Ungoogled is also a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Check the beta flags to enable some more interesting features like getClientRect anti-fingerprinting measures (unfortunately breaks some React-based sites that go into infinite re-render loop).
Both of these browsers selectively include patches from Brave, but they are community-oriented builds so imo more trustworthy than Brave, which continues to package various shady anti-features and always will because it's backed by a for-profit company.
LibreWolf[2] is the nicest Firefox-based one for desktop, I think. It's pretty hardcore, though, I most only use it to visit mainstream social media sites.
I tried a bunch of the Firefox-based ones on mobile and none of them clicked for me. Cromite is just too slick on Android. Put the address bar at the bottom and off you go. Only downside is no online syncing of tabs and bookmarks, but meh. You can save all open tabs to bookmark bar in one hit then export your bookmarks, send the file through whatever E2EE channel you want to your other device and import then reopen them again.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
Using these sort of downstream patch set browsers is rarely a good idea. If it has multiple full-time developers from a respected org dedicated to it, then it can be justifiable (Tor Browser, Brave), but take a look at the gaps in time for these two pages:
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/rel...
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/c/ch...
There's often days you're going without security patches. If you want a browser without Google tracking, Firefox is a much better choice.
