Firefox is good these days!

Mozilla (despite its issues) is nowhere near as evil as Google and a browser monopoly is good for nobody.

Manifest v2 will stay supported on FF - uBlock will keep working properly.

It's time to switch. If you would rather have a UI like Arc, give Zen a shot! (It's what I use!)

stock firefox is decent but, depending on your goals, there are better flavors. If security is really important there is librewolf and if you care way less about security and just want awesome then floorp is pretty sweet. For me sidebery brings it all together because it lets you do things like set per container socks5, which is a game changer for me (default is all traffic through my favorite vpn provider, but I have containers to make my browser look like my local ip, American, etc.)

Does librewolf do anything that you can't do via user.js?

It just has good defaults. I don't have to spend time configuring everything. I'm sure you can get the same results elsewhere but why bother
