Why can't I find a browser.... That just acts like a browser??? (lemmus.org)

As the title states, either these browsers are nothing but full of trackers and ads or they are so locked down that they are basically not functional. Why can't I find a browser that is just a freaking browser but with no BS???

I'm using it in parallel with Fennec. Ironfox a lot of times takes ages to load a page, I know its likely because it is stricter what to strip away or block or whatever it does during that, but sometimes I cannot be bothered to wait 5-10 seconds until I see the page, so I use Fennec.

I might try that to, I recently went back to Fennec and I agree, sometimes I just wanna search up something quick and not really deal with the loop holes

For anything that loads slower for me, I just use Vanadium. But as someone that has issue with Chromium browsers; it's a last resort. Though, I might check out Fennec as a secondary.
