My main question is, should we avoid VPN companies that are apart of the the 14 eyes, etc.? TIA!

Genuine question, I just tried this on my phone with both Firefox and Brave (my backup browser). Why does Firefox leak so much more data than Brave? Brave pretty much only showed which number version of Android I’m running and my time zone, Firefox showed all kinds of unique data including all the sensor readings from my phone, how many cameras it has, all the hardware components, and that fingerprint reading is allowed and I have all my settings as strict as they can be. I thought Firefox was supposed to be the way better option.

did you “harden” your firefox? like with arkenfox? or use librewolf.

You could try Mull browser (not to be confused with Mullvad browser which is desktop-only), it seems to do quite better. It’s a fork of Firefox for Android, similar to Tor Browser on Android, just without the Tor part.

Which is probably why it’s named “Mull” as Mullvad did the same on desktop.
