I'm struggling understand a good balance between strengthened privacy/security and reducing tracking/uniqueness by implementing settings for the former. Are you better off sticking with vanilla settings + uBlock Origin to avoid being too unique? Or perhaps uniqueness is inevitable and maybe using a curated list of settings like Betterfox is the better approach? Obviously there's no right answer and most people aren't avoiding the NSA or whatever.

Currently I'm using Firefox with about:config strengthening settings accumulated throughout the years but I don't think this is a good idea and if strengthening is preferred, a curated list would be better to avoid maintenance and potentially making yourself more unique. I don't mind fixing occasional breakage--I'm more concerned that settings becoming obsolete hence the focus on community-supported frequently updated list of settings (to accommodate updates to Firefox, especially since Firefox doesn't publish a straightforward full list of settings) over some privacy guide written years ago.

I'm also wondering if LibreWolf has gained enough momentum to be a real alternative to Firefox--the problem I have with all these forks of main browsers is that development never catches up or stalls, which is problematic for such an important app with security/privacy considerations. For example, I have much more faith in developers of Firefox to be actively dealing with new issues or fixing critical bugs.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
