I tried Ironfox for several weeks some months ago. I like the project, but it was painfully slow, mainly because it disables JIT and some other things. (Brave also has a JIT-less mode, but I found it to be faster than Ironfox.)

Also, it comes with uBlock Origin preinstalled, which is good, but the devs enable by default a ton of lists, which contributes to the slowness. I suppose that if you have a fast device it won’t matter, but on a low to mid-range device it becomes unbearable. The best you can do is disable the preinstalled lists and use one of the modes recommended by uBlock.

Yes, the speed of DDG Lite is amazing. There’s also DDG HTML, which is very fast too. I would like Ecosia to have a lite mode as well.
