Floorp. It's open source fork of Firefox made by mostly Japanese developers. It's noticably faster, privacy focused than the original and have more customisation options.

I'm surprised it's not well known to be honest.

Floorp is not open source, it's proprietary.

You may not modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software.

That doesn't seem compatible with the MPL. Or is it just their modifications that aren't in the original source files that are licensed this way?

That looks too good to be true, do you use it? I've been not as happy with Firefox lately. They keep a record of all my bookmark history and update so often it makes your head spin. I couldn't tell if the updates are because they're doing something or it's so popular that they need to do that for security.

Not happy with Firefox ? For a more privacy friendly Firefox fork check LibreWolf : https://librewolf.net You don't have to remove Firefox, you can run both at the same time.
