Firefox alternatives? (lemmy.ml)

On Linux and Android. What are privacy oriented alternatives to Firefox now that it's no longer trustworthy?

The ability to sync between devices would be a huge bonus, even just on a local network.

Fennec is a poor alternative because it connects to Firefox services. Sync is optional, but some internal components will talk to Mozilla, and Mozilla changed their mind about "never selling your data" recently.

Brave is Chrome with a history of suspicious moves, toxic leadership, involvement with crypto and AI

I remembered using Vivaldi a while back, I think I'll look into it again.
