I'm on android

So i downloaded fennec today and it seems to be pretty good, and quick aswell. But the settings are kinda confusing, for now tho!

I have already enabled ublock, Clearurls and Privacy Badger.

What other settings would you recommend to make fennec even more privacy hardened?

I liked Brave well enough, but I switched to Firefox when I learned Google was going to force Manifest V3's adblock-gimp into Chromium. I figure it's a matter of time before Chromium-based browsers like Brave are forced to either adopt it or fork Chromium and maintain it themselves, and I know which of those two seems more likely to me.

Brave Shields block ads and trackers by default, and they’re built natively in the Brave browser—no extensions required. Since Shields are patched directly onto the open-source Chromium codebase, they don’t rely on MV2 or MV3.

I honestly don't understand why Firefox bothers with a google manifest.
