              Both browsers are more private OOTB than Firefox.
LibreWolf has more privacy- and security-oriented defaults than Waterfox, like a halfway point between Firefox and Tor Browser:
It enables Resist Fingerprinting by default
It discards browsing history by default

It has a new Settings menu that makes it relatively easy to control these features that tend to break websites.
It lacks some of the customization features Waterfox pioneered.

Also consider Konform Browser! :3

https://codeberg.org/konform-browser/source/releases

Note: It doesn't have auto-updates enabled so if you are currently getting security fixes installed automatically for Waterfox/Librewolf and won't manage to keep the browser up to date yourself, then it may still be a bit early for casual users as an online daily surfboard
