Do you use any forks instead of default Firefox? If yes, which ones and why?

I do use Floorp.

It is, by far, the most customizable and power-user friendly Firefox fork, and it has zero telemetry by default, so I do prefer it over vanilla Firefox because of that.

I also value its focus in performance.

What's performance like? I found it to be very slow the last time I tried it.

I use it daily on my desktop. Works fine. Except yesterday where they published a broken release.. Oopsy

Yeah, at least they seemed to repair it fast, though

Did they? took 2 days.. and in the meanwhile I had to manually search the web with CHROME.. and to download a sketchy binary from a google drive.. so hu.

Well, at least for me it has worked within a few hours.
