    Switch to Firefox? By Mozilla? The company that just said they are ramping up ads and AI garbage?

    Good luck.

      Sadly Mozilla is not immune to following the dumb fads that run through Silicon Valley, but Firefox is still clearly the best browser option.

        I agree. I’m using it right now!

        But they have certainly been outlining some poor decisions in the last few weeks.

      Firefox is FOSS. Just use a privacy oriented fork of it :)

        So say I’m dumb and don’t know how to find a fork like that…

          I would search “Firefox forks for privacy” or something like that

              That’s fine. My goal is not to evangelize people and force everyone to use he same thing. A lot of people will stick to chrome, and other people will use Firefox, and even smaller subset will use privacy oriented forks of Firefox. Get this mf some diversity.
