Is there a reason you recommend forks of Firefox rather than the official version with the same add-ons enabled? Firefox already has support for Ublock and will have full desktop add-on support soon.
Has all the telemetry, analytics, and pocket crap removed, and some proprietary blob or something lol. I know if they ever add more spying stuff the future that it'll automatically be patched out in the fork I use. Besides that, it's the exact same experience. Even Firefox Sync works which I use.
On top of that, it's available on f-droid so it doesn't rely on Google Play at all, which is very important if you're trying to minimize Google stuff on your phone.
