As someone who has been running my own personal fork off ff for the past half decade because no way the things i want in (and left out) would get adopted due to the conflict of interests at Mozilla, I see these times a great opportunity for more performant adversive additions (and removals of cruft) into browsers directly vs third party addons or custom hacks people may have to do personally now (spoofing data browsers make available to servers/js, noscript, null routing on the fly, etc).

What changes did you make? I've always wanted to nuke the keybindings and change them to Emacs ones, but never mustered the will.
Spoofing browser data sampled from existing browsers and past versions that is usually sent in http headers for every request in the nsHttpHandler, removing the home page stuff, compiling out telemetry stuff, disableing stuff in CanvasRenderingContext2D, removed some css url stuff in servo url.rs.
