FOSS replacement for Firefox Focus? (monero.town)

Title. I use Firefox Focus because it's easy to clear history by just hitting the Delete button and it saves very little to no information on app exit. I know the Duck Duck Go privacy browser does this as well, but it's more of a full-fledged browser with bookmarks and everything else. Where I'm just looking for something super lightweight and quick.

Actually DDG is lighter than FF Focus, FF uses it's own rendering engine, while DDG uses the system Webview that's already installed on your system

the security of DDG depends heavily on the system Webview implementation, and how fast it receives security updates
