So a yikes happened. I tried syncing Firefox with Librewolf, and Librewolf wrote its default forgetfully-private settings into my synced profile, causing me to loose a bunch of the data I had synced. Luckily I have a computer that was offline at the time and didn’t sync the data wipe.
DDG browser is also rock solid on mobile.
blocks a ton of ads, takes care of cookies a lot of the time AND lets you get around youtube with an integrated player most of the time
Zen browser is great but I run into issues having multiple windows open (I have a multi-screen desktop). It especially breaks if I have the window-managing extension Winger running (which of course happens automatically when I use my Firefox sync profile after using regular Firefox).
Perhaps expecting Winger compatibility is too much, but man I really wish this was something they’d fix soon
If you are on mobile : IronFox If you are on desktop : Librewolf or Zen browser
All of thoose are firefox forks that support all existing firefox features but disable AI integration by default.
My only wish is that they should propose No AI DuckDuckGo as a default search engine. ( you can set it in the settings )

Zen browser has ChatGPT on their home page screenshot and it trolls me too hard.
