Thanks for suggesting LibreWolf as the Ungoogled Chromium of Mozilla.

The goal is to replace the venerable Epic Privacy Browser now that it's no 
longer working like it used to - which is too bad as it was fantastic.

My plan is to start with the most private Mozilla/Chromium browser possible.
And then add the minimum necessary extensions to make it a proxy browser.

For that first step, LibreWolf is even better than Ungoogled Chromium in 
that LibreWolf will accept xpi extensions from the Mozilla Store.

Ungoogle Chromium is completely disassociated from Google so it won't 
accept anything from the Chrome Web Store (so it's harder to extend).

At first LibreWolf failed to connect to https sites like duckduckgo 
whenever I had all four extensions enabled but I think I fixed it.

1. uBlock Origin
   <https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/download/1.65.1b2/uBlock0_1.65.1b2.firefox.signed.xpi>
2. Skip Redirect
   <https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3920533/skip_redirect-2.3.6.xpi>
3. Canvas Blocker
   <https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4413485/canvasblocker-1.11.xpi>
4. Hide.Me Free VPN Proxy
   <https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4225118/hide_me_vpn_free_proxy-1.2.5.xpi>

But I think I worked around that LibreWolf flaw by flipping this
about:config setting of "security.OCSP.require = true" to "false".

I think this solved the LibreWolf OCSP hard-fail, which checks certificate 
validity online. When a VPN extension like hide.me reroutes your traffic, 
LibreWolf may block connections if it can't verify certificates properly,
resulting in no internet access at all.

Flipping this switch didn't work for MullVad though, so there's likely
more going on with MullVad and VPN/Proxy extensions than in LibreWolf.
