I feel Brave would be a much better option with less site breakage as I have read from some users have experienced.
Brave works really good. I just hate that off-putting orange highlight.

I don't like Brave because it's not customizable; everyone's Brave browser looks and acts the same. That's not good, in my opinion. I prefer Vivaldi if I want anything Chrome-based.

I think hardening Firefox with about:config is the best option, as using an extension with a small user base like JShelter or any other unpopular extension just makes you stand out in its own way.
Can you share a link to how to do this? Currently I’m using strict mode on Firefox and I want to try this :)

If you are new to this I'd recommend you to try LibreWolf which is a fork of Firefox with hardened privacy settings and additional privacy enhancing tools preinstalled. If you just want to stick to the real Firefox you can try this: How to Set Up Firefox for Privacy | avoidthehack!

But I really advise against it if you don't know much about this topic as some about:config settings might stop websites to function properly or might cause weird behaviours.
