Im using LibreWolf. Its a fork of firefox. For me its the perfect balance between compatibility and privacy friendliness.

Is it a true fork, or is it a project that follows the Firefox tree and builds a customized browser from it?

The difference being, if it's a true fork, they have to do all their own browser engineering starting at the time it was forked off. That sounds like a monumental effort.

Strange, because they say it's a "custom version" of Firefox. That normally means it's a custom build, not a true fork.

I started using librewolf about a month ago but I've (unfortunately) switched back to Firefox because of multiple compatibility issues.

Edit: I should add that I switched from Firefox to Fennec (a fork of Firefox) on my phone and that has been working fine.

Someone should ship librewolf with less stupid defaults

Which is what I suggested they continue to use but for those who are concerned about privacy by default I would still suggest something in between.
