Librewolf vs. Waterfox

Both seem to be fantastic projects. What are the differences? Which use cases do they respectively excel in? What are their pros and cons? Curious what you think.

I've tried both, they're pretty similar. I use Librewolf just because it's more popular and is listed on privacytests.org

System1 is an advertising company. Waterfox has been influenced by them. How can a browser that claims to be privacy-oriented be under an advertising campaign? It's as if Chrome suddenly started caring about user privacy.

The story is from '23 and I have no interest in Waterfox. I use Firefox with user.js - a custom configuration settings file taken from Github.
