Is Firefox still the recommended browser of choice here? (mander.xyz)

Asking after the privacy debacle and manifest. I'm not keeping up closely, but iirc Firefox is the browser recommended because of Ublock. After the privacy data issue I've noticed broken trust from Firefox users, recommendations in favor of switching browsers, and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won't be maintained for much longer.

So I'm here asking the seasoned sailors' thoughts, aye. Is this just a storm passing by or are you really considering jumping ship?

You’ve just explained that to make Firefox secure you need to watch some video of someone that you hope knows what they’re talking about.

No actually, I didn't. I suggested that anyone who is not confident/literate enough to work this out for themselves through self-research online can access extremely beginner-friendly guides on YouTube that step-by-step walk them through the setup. Everyone knows how to use YouTube, please don't insult my intelligence by implying it's some kind of semi-mythical resource known only to the the biggest "nerds".
