I am currently using Librewolf.

But Zen & floorp browser looks beautiful.

What do you suggest?

I personally like the looks of Zen.

I would also appreciate any tips to make Zen more secure than it already is.

Edit: consider this too

I've used a few tutorials online, and was looking through my bookmarks. This one is pretty good:

https://brainfucksec.github.io/firefox-hardening-guide

I also run Enhanced Tracking Protection in the 'Privacy and Security' settings in firefox at Custom with all options ticked except:

Allow Firefox to automatically apply exceptions required to avoid major website breakage.
Also apply exceptions automatically that are only required to fix minor issues and make convenience features available.

Whatever breaks, breaks.

Additionally, 'DNS over HTTPS' set at Max Protection.

Again, whatever breaks breaks and I move on to another site.

Half my stuff breaks with the protection I use. The privacy/security struggle is real.

The privacy/security struggle is real.

Solidarity my brother. If I can't bend a website to my will, screw it. The info is more than likely duplicated across the internet anyways.
