Or better yet LibreWolf

I cannot count how many things I had to change in settings to get the browser to just work right, I mean I appreciate them locking everything down to the nth degree but.. damn. Finally switched to waterfox, the out of the box experience is a lot friendlier.

I tried LibreWolf for a little while, but too many sites just wouldn't load at all with it, so I went back to Firefox.

I get the frustration. It could have a tutorial / wizard to make it easier to set and understand.

If some parts are not loading, check the top left of the address bar for some icons, by default LibreWolf blocks canvas and anything that can identify you, and you have to press on them to allow them to render the elements.

Security unfortunately implies more inconvenience, which is what companies like Google love, but if it was a lot friendlier it would probably be less safe.
