Using a Firefox fork makes any difference?

Well, Mozilla seems to be making some pretty questionable decisions, So I’m considering switching browsers for the third (Is it the third?) time. The thing is, I really like the way Firefox works, so I’ve been trying out the more famous Forks like Waterfox and Librewolf, although I’m going for Floorp. However, I’m wondering: is using a fork enough? I mean, they are Forks maintained by other people, but is there a chance that whatever Mozilla does to Firefox could affect those Forks? Should I jump to a totally different browser like Vivaldi?

Is there a privacy-focused browser that isn’t a Firefox or Chrome fork, and is fully open-source while also being copyleft (ie., mandating that forks of it will be also open-source etc.)?

Edit: or, would Firefox still be recommendable for privacy, or a fork thereof?
