Then question is - what browser to recommend them in this case.

I don't think there's an easy answer. Any central repository managed by the company (Apple, Firefox, Google, etc) is subject to the same thing. At its core, FF is a solid privacy browser to start with, but add-ons are needed for any of them (even Brave). People pretty much have to help others individually to get access to the tools.

Ah, sorry. I have a harder time distinguishing sarcasm in our "post truth" world.

I suppose if you don't have kids the joke is not obvious:)

Nope. If it concerns children and programming, I pretty much hate modern civilization in that regard these days, and wasn't very fond of it when I was more in touch with it.

I guess Tor Browser is their only option. I like Librewolf, which is a fork of Firefox focused on privacy, but it uses the same Mozilla add-ons. Not sure if there's a way to circumvent this kind of censorship.
