    Firefox users were too removedy and wouldn’t shut up about how amazing it is. The universe took them down a peg.

    Do you hear that Linux users?

      There’s only one Firefox, there’s fucktonnes of Linux Distros. I am even willing to move to fucking Arch if push comes to shove.

        Librewolf, Mullvad, Tor, Snowwassel… There’s more than one Firefox. Surely if some fucked up AI integration was included, one of them would just disable it.

          None of them have the manpower or money to maintain a browser engine.

          For reference, Opera stopped years ago and even Microsoft gave up.

            You’re correct, that’s why they are not maintaining a browser engine.

            They are forks of Firefox with relatively small changes, like default configs, telemetry disabled or Firefox sync and pocket removed.
