My browser recommendation, if you're looking for something that's open source and pretty competent, it's a fork of Firefox with some pretty unique functionality.

I max the settings on strictest privacy and I have extensions to manage the voids that may be there

Won't help if the browser exfils your data. You have to trust the browser no matter what.

Have you found an actual flaw in privacy?

[–] Kissaki@programming.dev 3 points 5 days ago

The attack surface is the flaw. The chain of trust is the flaw/risk.

Who's behind the project? Who has control? How's the release handled? What are the risks and vulnerabilities of the entirely product delivery?

It's much more obvious and established/vetted with Mozilla. With any other fork product, you first have to evaluate it yourself.
