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.

I just set fennec to delete all the cookies and stuff when I "quit" from the pulldown menu. Yeah that logs me off of sites but that's ok, I use the built in password store to log back in quickly. If I just close the browser rather than selecting "quit", the cookies stay around. So I use "quit" when I want to get rid of the cookies, maybe a few times a day.

I don't trust the built-in password store and therefore use a password manager. But I would just like a browser that I can open up besides that one which is my main browser that would automatically delete things every time I quit it.

Interesting, I tend to worry less about the password store than external password managers. Maybe you are onto something and I should research it further. But the breaches I hear about have all been with external managers. I particularly don't want anything uploading passwords to remote storage. If I have to share a password between two machines (laptop and phone), I just transfer it manually. Another minor nuisance.
