"Forgotten" is too generous. That's like chalking up a corrupt government to "incompetence."

They sold out. The sooner we recognize them as a permanently corrupt entity, the better we will be.

The Ladybird browser and similar efforts are the only hope at this point.

I've been seeking out and trying alternatives for years, but there's one thing that I think is essential to practicing safe Internet: a uMatrix/uBlock-style connection blocker. No alternative browser I've tried comes close to acting as my user agent, it doesn't seem to be a priority for any of them.
LibreWolf has uBlock Origin built in. uBlock Origin also works with Orion - it's explicitly advertised as a feature at https://kagi.com/orion/
