Yeah, but they also added an AI feature that’s enabled by default that I never asked for.

And I normally advocate for Firefox. It’s been a good solid privacy focused browser for a while but now I’m starting to think maybe not as much.

Still better than the Chrome-alikes, but all the same I’ve switched to Librewolf. Problem is, foss mozilla teams like Librewolf are small and underfunded, and their ability to continue sanitizing the app forever is not garaunteed. A new vanguard FOSS browser project is needed.

  How is it better than something like Vivaldi

    Vivaldi is Chromium, which I avoid because I consider it an advertising corporation’s attempt to erode open web standards.
