On desktop I've been using Librewolf, Mullvad Browser is good too. There's also some forks on Android, Mull and Fennec, of those I prefer Mull
Edit: Waterfox is another fork on desktop that had some controversy when bought by an advertising company, but they're independent again as of last year
Do the same browser plugins work on librewolf?
Yes. Out of the box, it has uBlock Origin installed.
isn't fennec a 1:1 rebuild? I believe it still has everything turned on
What even would be the purpose of such software?
rebuild for distribution on fdroid as not to violate trademarks
It has some of the proprietary stuff and telemetry removed
What would you recommend for Android?
Also, have you found anything that works well with Firefox Sync? I use Sync for my bookmarks but it doesn't seem to be able to sync with LibreWolf
I'd recommend Mull, it's pretty much Librewolf for Android
As for the syncing I'm not sure
I know Librewolf says that. I have tried to use Sync but after signing into my Mozilla account Librewolf doesn't recognise me as logged in and doesn't sync.
Thank you.
