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 want to keep cookies to log in easily or to keep some preferences in specific websites

I want to keep the history for autofill urls and stuff

I don’t want to keep light theme by default, as well as fixed browser size, and I have to entirely remove fingerprinting protection for that

At this point I’m just using LibreWolf with settings a lot of people don’t use. Might as well use Firefox with custom about:config entries..

Its default settings are not good for everyday people, and even for privacy enthusiasts. They’re for paranoid people, at the cost of making the browser much less enjoyable
