Recently there has been controversy around Mozilla Firefox.

I've been looking for an alternative but really struggling, seems like every alternative has a downside:

Vivaldi: Uses some proprietary code and likely not doing much better on the user data side of things, also based on Chromium.
Tor: Uses Tor protocol and so is quite slow, my ISP would probably also think I'm a drug lord.
Fennec: Basically looks the same as Firefox but guessing less up to date, F-Droid has a warning about it's using Mozilla services for tracking.

What are you guys using? Have you found anything good?

How do you feel about DDG browser? It's another chrome based option. I've been using it when the some rare website won't work in a Firefox fork, and I'm curious to hear other people's opinions about it.

I like their free email forwarding service for throwaway accounts. Obviously, they aren't private in any way.
