Release Overview - Stable Versions

Keep in mind that the official changelog website is often behind actual release versions, the website is maintained by marketing people. Also note that not every single change/issue is mentioned in the release notes, because lots of changes are done in the background e.g. filter-list changes etc.

I'm choosing a main browser, and I think that firefox with ublock and brave are probably equally good in terms of privacy and security, both of them look quite nice, and both are FOSS. The final thing that I'm considering is resource consumption. This reddit post shows that firefox is better than brave in benchmarks and ram consumption, but what about when firefox has ublock running and brave has all their preinstalled "extension" like brave rewards and wallet disabled (except brave shields is left enabled)?

Disagree a lot. Firefox mobile has extensions i.e. Noscript and custom UBlock filters, client side dark mode, and more...

But not mobile version - can mobile Firefox block YouTube adds? No. I they collaborated with Google anyway - got paid by them to have shortcuts of Google apps on the start page.

Yes it can?? Use Mull from F-Droid to get a hardened browser. All FF versions support Ublock Origin with the right filters
