TL;DR: Mozilla is now enforcing data collection as a pre-requisite to access new features in Firefox Labs. This is backed by the Terms of Use that Mozilla introduced a few months ago.

Sadly cannot recommend it to any non tech savvy people on Mac because LibreWolf team refuses to have the app signed. This won’t help adoption rates.

Right now I can only, reluctantly, recommend Brave and maybe in the future Zen when it becomes more stable/settled.

Ah I hadn't heard about the signing issue as I use Linux. I used Brave for a few years but it's effectively just chrome with crypto ads and a homophobic CEO. I've heard good things about Zen but I've not personally tried it.
