Firefox alternatives? (lemmy.ml)

On Linux and Android. What are privacy oriented alternatives to Firefox now that it's no longer trustworthy?

The ability to sync between devices would be a huge bonus, even just on a local network.

Zen looks good, but being more unique couldn't it get fingerprinted more easily?

Also their community is on Discord, which to me is a red flag quite frankly. I realize it's separate from the browser, but still. Discord no good.

Yeah I don't personally like how unlike LibreWolf it doesn't use ResistFingerprinting.

Being fair, just using a non-Chromium based browser these days kind of gives a major fingerprinting starting point.
