Attack surface of this thing gives me existential dread.

I guess that really depends on how you classify "best"
Tor is pretty good for protection. Then there's always i2P as well…
Saying one browser can protect the best is pretty hard to prove.
Best among existing. Anti-fingerprinting field is still in it's early stages.
I wouldn't say Tor Browser is the best because it requires custom configuration to be usable conveniently, which will make the connection non-uniform (and the user will stand out).
>Tor is pretty good for protection. Then there's always i2P as well…
Tor and i2P does nothing for (anti)fingerprinting - the program which render the web pages does.

Not a proof but things to consider: https://privacytests.org/

You could test with this: https://github.com/abrahamjuliot/creepjs
Does it store the data? Unknown.
The best browser for protection is https://mullvad.net/en/browser because it makes the connection uniform, to better blend in.

Same. I sighed when they continued to run telemetry after disabling it - I blocked it (don't care if it's a dry run or not). Bit the bullet when they discontinued FF/TB in favor of snaps - installed them from tar. But when they installed ubuntu-pro without notice, on existing system, which is impossible to remove without also removing DE - that was the last straw for me. I'm moving all my desktops to Debian.
Unfortunately Debian can't be recommended for beginners due to sheer volume of documentation for Ubuntu on the web.
> every upgrade broke something
Upgrades are the bane of tech. They are justified by "security" like every law that takes away freedom and privacy is done in the name of "protecting children". It's all BS.
My main machine in on Windows 7. It can't be upgraded anymore. No updates for me! Which is exactly what I want. Pure joy.
Updates are a necessity, and they don't have to be feature-breaking. More distributions need to adopt security-only channels.
