My hopes are not high. Right before FakeSpot got bought out by Mozilla, they changed their privacy policy to add a "we will sell your data if we get bought out" clause.

(As a Mozilla product now, FakeSpot still retains private data and the right to sell it to advertising companies. So, at least to me, Mozilla has been an adtech company since 2023.)

They at least have good ad-block support, so I'll continue using them as long as there's nothing better. I've switched my mobile browser to Mull, and I'll switch my desktop browser to Mullvad Browser if I need to (it's not in my Linux distro's repos, and I'm lazy).

LibreWolf is pretty good too. It's less like Tor than Mullvad Browser is, at least out of the box.

I use the Mullvad Browser flatpak, and it works like a charm. Also LibreWolf, love it.
