Not defending but what’s the alternative to the chromium monopoly? Most Firefox forks people talk about are a fork of the Firefox version + some patches. You’re better off using Phoenix instead of those forks IMO.

I’m usually a firefox defender, because usually people are blowing everything they do out of proportion, and straight up making up negatives. That said, I don’t know what a “modern AI browser” is but I know it’s something I don’t want. Hopefully “AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off.” Is a serious statement. But also, the AI features they’ve added so far have been out of my way and haven’t bothered me, and if what you’re calling for is to use chromium based browsers (gecko down stream is fine) then you are making the wrong decision for the future of the internet. Firefox, chrome, edge, and safari are the only browsers which have a snowballs chance of being accepted in corporate environments, and supporting google over Mozilla is a losing proposition.

It’s still tolerably warm, and there are no other kettles that would be worth switching to right now. I use Firefox and if it ever popped an AI feature at me, I turned it off a long time ago and haven’t thought about it since.
