The FB and GOOG "buttons" on many websites are marketed for "user convenience" while mining & associating your online doings to your permanent profiles (that they hold regardless of whether you have an acct) without your knowledge.

 

Even deeper are the very subtle "analytics" scripts that GOOG has embedded within websites, guising a tremendous overreach of data mining under the convenience of statistical analyses

 

BLOCK ALL THE TRASH. uBlock Origin + uMatrix, at least, will grant you control of, and eyes on, all of the communications of your browser. NOTE: Modern Firefox (57+) is not to be fully trusted, if you want the opportunity for utter control over your internet anonymity.

 

Am considering writing a guide on the topic.

Yes, but significant C or C++ skill and strong knowledge of networking required to make anything competitive.

Can also utilize source codes of major browsers as frameworks, but knowledge still needed to be able to catch & remove exploitations & embedded monitors.

Waterfox is pretty good from what I've tested so far.

Vivaldi phones home too much for my liking.

 

However a fine alternative is to leverage userscripts in order to force certain changes in Firefox browsers (and Chrome ones to an extent, though branded Chrome is without a doubt best avoided). Userscripts can be file-level (as you'll see below) or thru addons like Greasemonkey, or preferably Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey. The addons contain links to searchable resources for scripts

 

This complex userscript by a brilliant dude "Pants" is an excellent option for security for any Firefox browser.
