Librewolf with minimal extensions is the only browser one should use, but I must add that too much of restrictions will break websites. Like not allowing JS
Meh, most websites will still function if you use NoScript and only allow the most common scripts necessary for a site to function. Simply enabling the setting to allow scripts from the top level domain is enough for the average website to function. After about a week of enabling specific scripts from trial and error, you barely have to touch it anymore.
I use Librewolf daily, and for the most part, I have done the method of trial and error. However, it does become a pain if you have to do it for every website, especially if you don't visit it often

It's fixed https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/merge_requests/54
That was recently fixed. It should not be a concern now
