With Mozilla continuing their 'dark pattern' behavior lately, it may be time to give this privacy-centric fork a try:
LibreWolf Browser

Ok, I've been using LibreWolf for the past few hours. It's solid. I love that it has the "correct" settings for privacy enabled (or disabled) by default.
The Developer Tools (wrench icon) are very handy
The Windows version does not auto-update which is a drag, but I can live with it. No FF account either, so no sync. But that's kind of the point, right?
This might become my daily driver.

I haven't used the fork I linked, but from what I can tell, it's considerably more hardened than Brave.
I used Brave for a while but dumped them when the affiliate link redirect scandal broke. I had already disliked the "rewards" sponsored advertising policy.
