I really like the [Zen browser](https://zen-browser.app/). It's Firefox-based, open source and privacy focused with AI removed but it's also really pretty and is built around vertical tabs

For those interested https://librewolf.net/installation/ https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/1919 Thanks to @acockworkorange@mander.xyz for the context below. > > The settings that Mozilla packaged in were the main big ones, Claude, ChatGPT etc, it didn’t look like any of them were locally hosted or even if a locally hosted model could be chose. Local AI… where the model itself and all the token are processed on either your own machine or another machine controlled by you certainly isn’t violating privacy, but as I said the choices on offer were none of these. > LibreWolf by default gets rid of anything that seeks to abuse your right to privacy, you won’t even find Google or Bing in your search engine. Naturally this will also apply to AI providers. Unfortunately, at the moment, we can’t trust Mozilla and by extension with AI items so these things were removed. That doesn’t mean you can’t install third party AI extensions. Also you can host your own search engine for even more privacy. https://docs.searxng.org/index.html

Grumpy ken thinks "Just use Foo" meming is promoting mindless use and I think should therefore be discouraged. Even in jest I think this affects us subconsciously to feel more comfortable with not thinking deeper for ourselves. Even if X is the right one. "Use Foo already!" is nicer~! If I may illustrate: Use [Konform Browser](https://codeberg.org/konform-browser/source)^1^ already! ^1^: _Disclosures: Am dev; is LibreWolf fork_

I know I’ll get flak for this, but I am sticking with FireFox, because it saves my passwords.

As a libreworlf user, I'd have to advise some caution to regular users. A lot of sites are broken as images won't load and "fancier" web apps don't work super well either. Yes it's an easy fix, but expecting someone to go look in the config files to get an image to load is too much for a lot of people

I think even with Librewolf you need to open the about:config page and disable browser.ml settings.
