In my quest for the most privacy-respecting and direct control browser I ended up stumbling upon qutebrowser.
What fascinated me is that it literally doesn’t request anything you haven’t asked for. No telemetry, no weird connections. It only serves you what youbask of it.
But, and that’s a big issue, qutebrowser is a proud keyboard-driven browser made for those looking to make their browsing experience more…vim.
So the question arises: is there any browser that is so strict with unwanted connections, telemetry etc., but with a normal GUI?
Thanks in advance for any response!

You could try LibreWolf.
LibreWolf still sends out quite a lot - even on startup, it makes dozens of connections.
My goal is to try and push the limits on how little a browser can send out when unasked for. Qutebrowser quite literally makes one connection to check updates…and that’s it.
Librewolf (or any firefox browser) is definitely more private on the internet than qutebrowser, especially with ublock. Also pretty sure telemetry is removed in Librewolf?
I ended up with IceCat, a GNU Firefox fork that does 0 telemetry or data send.
Librewolf does send data out without you asking, checked with my firewall (Safing Portmaster).
How about GNU IceCat?
Aaaand the award for finding exactly what I need goes to you!
Thank you! This is perfectly what I need.

Falkon seems to be based on the modified Chromium. Do you know if it gets affected by the changes in upstream Chromium, particularly Manifest updates and such?
