It's getting hard to use and recommend Firefox, I'm afraid for the free web
Re: firefox and privacy, if you want to use firefox for privacy, consider using https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . There is a case to be made that Firefox (with arkenfox's user.js) is one of the best privacy-respecting but still fairly usable browsers.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.

Waterfox G6.0.2 had whitelisted search deal partner www.bing.com against user extensions in extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
If you make time to dig through settings and change them away from their official use (99% of users don't), then you should use a customized setup (in this case, a user.js). That way, you're good to go no matter what Firefox fork you use.

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
> Firefox remains a stable option to come back to everytime
Don't get me wrong, I've been using Firefox for the last decade and I don't intend on using anything else for the foreseeable future, but Mozilla has no idea what they're doing with Firefox nowadays. Firefox View is the most useless thing I've ever seen, that expiring "independent voices" theme picker was some weird hippie stunt[1], the latest UI redesign which split the tab from the window looks hideous, and it's not like Firefox doesn't have things you can tweak for a more private experience[2]. I miss Firefox Test Pilot where they tried out different new features, I found a lot of them to be very useful but sadly lots of them didn't make it.

I don't understand what's so good about Firefox
Like others have said you can customize the browser to the point that it doesn't even look like the default anymore. Or customize it to maximize privacy.

The confusing CalyxOS-supplied Chromium
Our goal with the Chromium provided in CalyxOS has been to provide a browser with a solid base of privacy and security enhancements vs Chromium (and by extension, vs Chrome) while still allowing most sites and WebView-based apps to function as expected out of the box. We do this by using select changes from Cromite (and prior to that, Bromite). Some of these include the under-the-hood deactivation of intrusive features and analytics, while others provide additional site settings to adjust features like WebGL and WebRTC, features which are sometimes necessary but which can aid in fingerprinting or identification when turned on. We also bring in the legacy ad blocker from Bromite/Cromite to offer some reasonable protection from the worst kinds of ads. You can find and adjust these features in Settings.

Nexus 7 Flox: flo-deb_clamor_repartition_20201203.zip unavailable
Normally, I'd recommend Bromite as a lightweight Chromium-based browser with built-in adblocking, but the project appears to be asleep right now. It might be worth checking it in a few weeks, though.

Alternative to Samsung Internet - Android browser with bottom back & forward buttons (not hidden)
Bromite via either its site/Fdroid, GitHub or Woolyss site has a bottom bar available in accessibility settings. (The first one has been unmaintained for a while, but has auto updates available if they ever drop. The other two are up to date but must be updated manually.)
