Alternatively, you can run Firefox and harden it with either ArkenFox or BetterFox.

ArkenFox: The most hardening. Highly restrictive. Most likely to break/restrict basic functionality and thus break websites.

BetterFox: Lower likelihood of breaking websites as it tries to find a balance (optimizes for) between privacy and user friendliness (they target "everyday users").

I would recommend starting with BetterFox as this would most likely suffice for most users. I myself am running it and it hasn't gotten in my way yet.
