Unfortunately, there aren’t many options in the 2025 internet browser market.
Unless something has changed, the gecko engine Firefox uses is the only distinctly different engine from Chrome, and I don’t think writing a browser engine from scratch is easy. So if the solution is to hard pivot away from Firefox entirely, I don’t know how you don’t end up using some Chrome based browser.
At least Mozilla hasn’t tried to kill adblockers like Google clearly is trying to.
Forking the codebase and stripping out any AI code is much easier than trying to invent another wheel.
You know, that’s a fair point. But I think it will still be a measurable shift if people start using privacy forks of their codebase.
