Well, there's also the 64-bit Brave browser available and described at 
website https://www.brave.com/ as 
"A browser with your interests at heart. Browse faster by blocking ads and 
trackers that violate your privacy and cost you time and money."

The Brave Software Company was formed by current CEO Brendan Eich, the 
former Mozilla CTO apparently ousted by Mozilla after employees complained 
about his opposition to gay marriage back in 2014.

Brave Software Inc's headquarters are at 1161 Mission St; over a dozen 
long blocks from Noisebridge further Downtown and closest to cross-street 
Julia St off of Mission St itself.

Hope this helps...
