There's also IceCat, but it's less on the privacy side, and more on encouraging the use of LibreJS.
I feel like there are far too many IceAnimal forks that just vanish the month after they put out a release.

maintaining a full blown FOSS project and community, especially a browser, is a lot of work. most people likely give up pretty fast
LibreJS is a bad project and it is never going to work. Free software is very important to computing and the web but I wish the FSF would stop shoveling broken junk. What's worse is that if you dare to disagree with the FSF cult they see you as the enemy
