Waterfox puts on a privacy friendly front in order to lure in newbies all the while sending out unsolicited requests. Just take a gander at their "privacy" policy which indicates Waterfox phones home with information about your system as well as sending data to Mozilla (You were trying to avoid that in the first place, right?).
Palemoon is scarcely better. Palemoon connects to Mozilla's geolocation services in addition to directing users traffic (out of the box) to Google and Twitter ads and analytics as well as other trackers.
Chromium still has services that silently communicate with Google. If you must use a chrome family browser, ungoogled-chromium is probably your best option.

No "Brave"?

It has been pointed out that it turned to shit with the last update. Just install ublock origin on any of those 3 and you filter out most of it anyway. Also there are numerous threads on voat discussing browser privacy addons.

Brave is chromium based. The 3 listed are all each different base things.
