FOSS replacement for Firefox Focus? (monero.town)

Title. I use Firefox Focus because it's easy to clear history by just hitting the Delete button and it saves very little to no information on app exit. I know the Duck Duck Go privacy browser does this as well, but it's more of a full-fledged browser with bookmarks and everything else. Where I'm just looking for something super lightweight and quick.

Firefox regular does that. There's a setting to clear history on close. Then it adds a quit button to the menu. You can pick how much is deleted. History, cookies and anything else.

Yes, but I don't want my main browser to do that. I want my main browser to save things by default and only not save things if I choose to. By having Firefox focus, I have a browser that opens by default that automatically doesn't save anything unless I specifically open it in my main browser.
