I'm aware that it used to be owned by an ad company System1. But I found this post by the founder where he said that it's now an independent project.

I want to keep cookies to log in easily or to keep some preferences in specific websites

I want to keep the history for autofill urls and stuff

I don’t want to keep light theme by default, as well as fixed browser size, and I have to entirely remove fingerprinting protection for that

At this point I’m just using LibreWolf with settings a lot of people don’t use. Might as well use Firefox with custom about:config entries..

Its default settings are not good for everyday people, and even for privacy enthusiasts. They’re for paranoid people, at the cost of making the browser much less enjoyable

I've heard good things about Zen Browser if you want to give that a try.

I am currently using Floorp, which also adds plenty of features. Haven't tried Zen yet, but it looks interesting.

I’m still a bit scared of it being in beta. Security issues are the kind of things you really don’t want in a browser
