Firefox is kind of a sticky situation, because while they changed their ToS, removing some terms about "sale of data" to comply with overbroad legal terminology, they didn't actually change their privacy policy. The internet freaked out, because Mozilla did a shit job of explaining the change, and now it exists in a space where it's lost a lot of community goodwill.
I still use it, though, and I think it's good that you mentioned that you have to configure it to be more private. I'll have to check more into Waterfox, too.
Thanks for making these guides!

That wiki article is perfect! Showcases both sides nicely - thanks!
