I've tried to install Librewolf, Badwolf and a few other candidates I found in the Arch wiki Apps list, or ones that I have used on other distros before such as Garuda.

They always seem to not be able to be installed via pacopts.

Perhaps there is one that others know of that is a strong suggestion?
This is the best browser rating live article I've found over the years, https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/browsers.html

Other than tor-browser, (ice-cat + noscript-legacy + librejs + ublock-origin ) no-dbus running, ipv6 disabled anywhere you can shut it off, and run it in firejail to complete the task. Also creating different users and run it on firejail as different user for different browsing is even better. For everything else (browsing without loging into any accounts) just firejail and use one of the fluffy alternatives, like waterfox, brave, vivaldi, etc. Like looking up recipes etc. Or for videos solutions such as: (firejail freetube https://youtu.be/OTrJwUdK5cM)

Peace
Can't get icecat to install either

The best secure browser is a pure HTML5 web page :)
That's hard to find these days, there is bouncing from link to link to script to script and you think you are reading a web page when the script is feeding you data from somewhere else. I have seen news-sites that are recognized and named by others that have 0 articles of their own, it is only ads and redirection to other newsarticles.

Even libreJS these days throws most commercial sites off to useless.

I was doing a search a little while ago to see if there is a community proposing a subnet with clean html no script sites. I assume it would require its own dns and search engine. A non-commercial internet within the internet. I'll let you know if I find one. There is gnunet for those interested, it is the closest thing I've found, but don't get your hopes up.
fungal_net wroteYou can't install icecat-bin? Why?
icecat-60.7.0.en-US.gnulinux-x86_64.tar.bz2 ... FAILED (unknown public key D7BEFC2F89D03EFC)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!
when encountering problems with AUR builds, it's always good to consult the web interface: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat-bin/
and scan the comments.
in this case: 
gpg --recv-keys D7BEFC2F89D03EFC
(as root) beforehand.

Thanks for the advice. I got Icecat working well, however the -bin version has one important thing missing from the normal version (which I have installed on my antiX machine, which is the ability to easily add new search engines from the address bar. It's not a biggie.

I run Icecat, Librewolf and ELinks and I am a happy bunny.
