There aren't really any better choices than Firefox. Tor Browser is a fork thereof, and it's perhaps a little too paranoid. But if you're trying to avoid fingerprinting and keep a modern browser running, your choices are:
* Chrome, produced by the world's largest advertising company, that wants you to login to the browser itself
* Edge, which is produced by a company that advertises to you inside its operating system, and doesn't run outside Windows
* Safari is gonna be a pass, because they're falling behind and don't have a good extension system
* Brave, where the entire model is to control access to which advertisements you see
* Firefox, a nonprofit that is primarily supported by competitors who sell advertising and pay to be the primary search engine in each region
The original problem seems like an honest mistake, but the fix method seems surprising. They built a system that allows them to insert arbitrary security certificates into the browser, and turned it on by default. It feels like the kind of thing that could be leveraged by a nation state.
