Reasons are the data transmissions happening by default and Mozilla’s questionable inclusion of add-on things like Pocket. See for example: kuketz-blog.de/mozilla-firefox-datensendeverhalte… vs. kuketz-blog.de/mullvad-browser-datensendeverhalte… kuketz-blog.de/librewolf-datensendeverhalten-desk… (You might need to translate the site to English) If you compare that, you can see why it’s easy to recommend the forks over the original.
