You might look into LibreWolf.[1] It's a Firefox fork which supposedly prevents all unsolicited connections. According to their documentation, their binaries are compiled with DRM support, but it is disabled by default,[2] so as long as you don't go out of your way to enable it I don't think you'll end up running any of that crap. I haven't gotten around to testing this browser myself though. There's also Hyperbola's Iceweasel-UXP, a fork of Basilisk, which is itself a fork of pre-Quantum Firefox. It works okay, though I'm not sure how to install it on a non-Arch-based distro. [1] https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/ [2] https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/docs/drm/
