The Tor browser is still Firefox based. Not a large niche, but being THE preferred way to browse with Tor makes it on its own imho

Tor browser is just Firefox with a different default configuration and add-ons though.

As it should be. But honestly unless there needs to be a change there is no reason to fork.

Most of the chromium forks are just branding and proprietary features they want built in, with brave being the only one that feels a little more aggressive in changes from the base.

Tbf someone else mentioned arc browser which is chromium and seems to be pretty...different from base

Thanks for the info! Agreed that one seems to be trying to actually value add on top of its base.
