I moved over to Librewolf last night (except on android) due to this issue. I’m not even anti-AI, I just don’t care for the current mentality to put it into everything and using it as the entirety of your marketing schtick. I don’t need an AI web browser. I need a web browser that can navigate something like chatgpt’s web interface if I want it to.

Librewolf has stated their intention to strip all ai elements from their fork of Firefox and that keeps me off of a chromium browser so I chalk this up as my personal best-case scenario.
