Maintaining a browser is a huge endeaver. Using some random browser that is maintained by a a lone person or maybe even a handful of developers basically guarantees that the whole thing is insecure. This is especially true when keeping functionality around that was removed in the “main” browser to improve security there. One example is the old plugin system that firefox replaced with a more secure one with less hooks into the core engine, breaking some old plugins.

Stay with mainstream browsers folks and install some plugins to improve them that way. At least you get patches asap.

Librewolf updates all the time, probably weekly (I don’t watch it that closely).
