Can't use Chrome, can't use Firefox. The only sane choice left is Safari. Is Apple the better alternative now?

Edit: don't be mistaken. I'm still using Firefox and have no plans to switch.

You definitely can still use Firefox. They haven't added any AI nonsense beyond local translations and local image descriptions for accessibility. The article posted here is about how they're not removing MV2 support, so uBO still works on Firefox. Since Firefox is open source, I guarantee that the moment they try to change that there'll be a fork.

Stick with a Gecko browser to keep the market share up.

Fennec on android and librewolf and mullvad on desktop

How likely are those to remain viable once the source (Firefox) becomes too disparate?

Gonma cross that bridge once we get there...

But yes not very viable once mozila pulls a Donald Trump

I think there is do work being done on alternatives.

Also, firefox code base could be forked and we all will need to pay for it to be developed like adults

Yeah we have all our eggs in this one basket now. Would be nice if Europe would fund an alternative or two.

EU would rather fund US mega corps while buying Russian gas 🤡
