Finally, I have moved my web deals to the Chromium and now ready to apply a paranoid privacy configuration for my primary browser, Firefox. This is not my first attempt; I know it may be impossible, but anyway, I would like to ask: does anyone have an about:config template? There are many options, and I want to disable everything, from JavaScript to unnecessary HTTP headers and external content pre-loading. It should be closer to Gemini but with HTML/CSS support.
P.S. The proxy is not an option in this privacy context, I'm experimenting with a.k.a. Web 1 model just.

I moved from Firefox to LibreWolf on all my computers recently...
A browser that comes with add-ons out of the box makes me think it's not a secure browser, but rather just a build. Aside from having telemetry disabled, it doesn't meet my needs, especially since I already have uBlock installed in Firefox.
For my requirements, in this case, I would prefer starting with the Dillo browser, even if it seems like a joke.
Regarding LibreWolf, it's more about the ideology, similar to the differences between GitHub and Codeberg. However, both still use JavaScript. It's nothing fundamentally new, I should change the config, or start with some really minimalistic FF build (if exists) as the clean basement/framework. LibreWolf does not block external content pre-load out of box, and it does not prevent other potential leaks such as referring data in headers.

@ps Assuming that what you're saying is correct, Librewolf still starts out a lot closer to your ideal than a basic build of Firefox would. Why start with something that's 80% broken when you could start with something that's only 30% broken?
I love Dillo, I use Dillo, but it cuts off a big part of the modern web when you use it. Maybe that's a feature rather than a drawback, but if you want a super paranoid Firefox config, just use the Tor browser without Tor enabled, but in Safest mode (no JS) and turn JS on temporarily if there's a site you want to use. There's also the Mullvad browser, which is basically Tor browser with Tor removed.
+1 for librewolf. Prior to that, tried to remove all refs to google from firefox...
But really, Torbrowser whenever possible.
I use Floorp (Firefox fork) and TOR for checking in on personal websites that have Tor mirrors and other social sites to lurk in.
