What else does it apart from rebranding firefox and getting ad revenue?
It has a few privacy features, some themes, some other stuff. Nothing significant. It kinda became popular lately, and some people started using it. But now it’s proprietary, so I wouldn’t use it anymore. LibreWolf is much better and open source.
Are there any benefits to using LibreWolf if I’m alrrady using Arkenfox?
Not really, I just find LibreWolf much easier to install. I don’t want to mess around with downloading and copying Firefox profiles every time.
It also has double sidebars so I can put tabs in one of them instead of the top of the screen and hide the titlebar without having to modify userchrome.css. That’s one thing I missed from Vivaldi when I moved to Firefox.

If you want you can try Floorp if you’d like to use Firefox based browser. It is really customizable, although it is missing a lot of things that Vivaldi has, like split screen and tab grouping. But it has an enhanced support for tree style tabs which is a big plus in my opinion.

Or Mullvad Browser. I really like that browser too.
oof, gotta switch again
I believe the main thing people liked about Floorp is tab grouping and vertical tab layout à la Vivaldi, and a more modern and slim design out of the box, while keeping a firefox core instead of being another chromium based browser.
This. I use floorp for work and Firefox for personal stuff.

nothing then? Because I don’t see anything different there
Like said below, it’s nothing too significant. It boasts about having two sidebars on each side and “Flexible Toolbar & Tab Bar”, which according to the screenshots is TreeStyleTab + another toolbar on the right. In my opinion, that is something different. And that’s what the website says.
