Firefox alternatives

I'm thinking of switching to some Firefox alternative, but there are too many. So far, I'm thinking of Floorp, Waterfox or LibreWolf, but it is hard to decide on one specifically. Is there are suggestion in terms of privacy, security, maintanability, etc?

lynx is super fast. Sure it's command line and does not display images.
If you need images netsurf can do that.
I personally use Wolvic on XR headset and compiled it for the Lynx R1 just this week.

Finally if you want to make your own browser I can recommend https://browser.engineering

PS: otherwise I'm using Firefox with Vimperator so I can't help much there. I do think Firefox, and Mozilla behind it, is not perfect but provides a better alternative than Chromium based browsers. I also do worry that if nobody does use Firefox, or at least support Mozilla, somehow then it will simply not exist anymore and thus all alternatives relying on it, e.g Waterfox or LibreWolf, will not be viable anymore.
