It isn't even open source. I don't trust it, but it's my primary browser because I love its customization stuff and because it's Chromium (I have a potato laptop and Gecko is known for higher memory usage).
I was ignoring the 92% percent part of it in my original comment when I said "not even open-source" because I think pretty much all privacy advocates know that it is built on top of Chromium.
I am not sure what your true source is, but mine is this from where I am quoting:
While they release the source code of the UI elements, it seems that they only release a obfuscated version of the UI source code, which I am afraid won't go well If I want to easily "audit and go through". Though it's possible they have now changed their minds and my news sources are outdated.
