The fact that PM was forked from an older version is one of its main draws for me; less effort to revert the UI style to a classic browsing experience. Legacy addons still work with it, and many modern ones will too if you try giving exception flags.
Agree about slower rendering, but it's negligable and a lot of it comes from my script/ad blockers. No idea about any furry drama and don't really care, same with coding ethics.
I'll still give Libre Fox a go and see if it's possible to make the UI classic, which is priority #1 for me. Chrome's "minimalist" UI was retarded and its influence been a blight on modern design philosophy.
Waterfox and firefox are normie tier browsers with a little better privacy than google and microsoft browsers. Privacy will improve if you tweak their settings. Librewolf and dott browser are like tor browser without tor they are more for people looking for anonymity where your identifiable information is spoofed.
