#2** To clarify - looking for any Firefox alternative, not restricted to the Gecko engine
Is Brave at all a viable alternative? Or do their own ads and all the crypto-shmypto make the switch moot?
Tangentially - has anyone tried building Firefox from the source? [1] I wonder how feasible this would be as an alternative if coupled with disabling all unwanted parts of the browser.

Brave is based on Chromium, so that rules it out for the author based on what they wrote.

I'd say Vivaldi[0] scratches that itch better for me, without having to sell my soul to the crypto gods. I only wish it did not crash randomly on MacOS a couple of times per week.
