IronFox is Firefox ESR-based, completely de-Googled, has zero telemetry, and comes pre-hardened for privacy.

IronFox is a fork of Divested Computing Group's Mull Browser, based on Mozilla Firefox. Our goal is to continue the legacy of Mull by providing a free and open source, privacy and security-oriented web browser for daily use.

Version IronFox v140.0.4 released, .apk available for download here.

More discussion about the browser here.

Unfortunately, not available in FDroid yet.

You actually can get this on fdroid, but you have to add the repository manually. Instructions are here in the readme

It's available on Accrescent.

I found it broke too many websites for my taste.

used it for a while but something recently made it too slow to use. websites take around 10 seconds to load, when on fennec they open up almost instantly...

Same for me. Recently changed phones and used Ironfox initially. But with issues like you described I had to change to at least Fennec. I've had loading issues and theming issues with Waterfox; same with Ironfox when I think about it. 🤔
