Interesting list, I've heard of GNU IceCat before but I'm not really sure what are the actual advantages over Firefox in terms of security updates and such. It feels a bit like Waterfox in that regard, or am I missing something?
There's also bit a bit of a controversial news with Focus adding Google Safebrowsing and while may be good for security, it does the opposite for privacy (and it can't be disabled as in regular Firefox ).

In order to provide our users with another GeckoView sneak peek and something to test, we’re proud to also provide a new feature today: Thanks to in-browser security warnings, your mobile web browsing will now be a lot less risky. Firefox Focus will check URLs against Google’s constantly updated lists of unsafe web resources, which includes phishing and other fraudulent sites, and will provide an alert if you reach an unsafe site. You may then either follow to safety, or ignore to continue navigating to the requested site. After all, we value users’ right to choose how to browse, and want to make sure they’re able to make informed choices.
I'm also curious about Etar Calendar but I feel more inclined to use [https://alternativeto.net/software/simple-calendar/], but I like the material design look so I'll give it a try.
