Mozilla is just enshiitifing on a different schedule than the rest, they will end up in the same place at the end. there are lots of pre-enshittifiaction firefox forks that are much better. Try one of those instead.

I’m using one of those, it still depends on Firefox being around

  No not really, once it’s been forked the original can die and the forks will be just fine.

    The forks will not be just fine because they’re dependent on Mozilla for the new features and highly important security updates.

    Oh yeah? Because famously netscape navigator is still around for firefox to get all of their features and security updates from.

    That’s true for a hard fork, not a downstream fork
    
    Most of these other browsers are downstream forks. I’m not aware of any popular/reputable hard forks of Firefox
