I'm aware that it used to be owned by an ad company System1. But I found this post by the founder where he said that it's now an independent project.

I use it for everyday things like schoolwork and gmail and it works great so far. I still have Librewolf on the side but it seems like it's for more privacy and that you're not supposed to change it too much for example adding more extensions or it defeats the purpose of it.
