I’m currently using LibreWolf (a Firefox fork) as my primary browser, with uBlock Origin set to block scripts by default on all but a few sites. When i need to use a site that’s not one of these trusted ones and refuses to work without JS (for example, forums.linuxmint.com), is it better for my privacy to temporarily allow JS or to open the site in a different browser like FF or Vivaldi?
Does switching browsers actually make it harder to track me, especially ones that don’t have full modern CSS and JS support like Dillo, Links2, Alhena, and NetSurf?

A browser is only a secudary problem in privacy, if you use another than Chrome or Edge, it’s mainly the search engine you use the problem, the sites you visit, the mail you use, the data you publish, your common sense online, there are the main privacy holes.
