It’s never a bad time to use Firefox. Been on it for many years (with a brief hiatus on chrome) and can’t recommend it enough.

Firefox just recently changed their tos removing the part where they said they don't sell your data. Will be searching for an alternative soon.

Librewolf is good. It’s up-to-date Firefox with all the nonsense stripped out (ads, telemetry, Pocket) and things like uBlock Origin preinstalled.

Just switched to librewolf and Fennec yesterday and so far not feeling any loss of functionality or performance.

Fennec is made by Mozilla

IronFox is a hardened Firefox fork for Android you could use.

Give it a few days and see what happens. Knee jerk reactions are rarely good.
