It seems that one of the open source browsers is the best bet at the moment, including Pale Moon.

I switched to Pale Moon yesterday and really like it. However, you must "decontaminate" it, because it, by default, reports to Google that it is Firefox. I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere, but it doesn't hurt to do it again:

YOU MUST DECONTAMINATE PALE MOON. IT REPORTS TO WEBSITES THAT IT IS MOZILLA (Firefox). BUT THE FIX IS SIMPLE:

1. Create a new tab.
2. Type "about:config" into the Address Bar as if it were an internet site (URL).
3. Type "compatMode" into the Search box that will appear right below the Address Bar.
4. On the line general.useragent.compatMode.firefox there are three settings: user set, boolean, true. Click on "true" and it will change to false.
5. Close the tab.
