...this might just push me onto a different browser. WHY?

Because they allowed AI and ad-revenue lovers into their leadership. This was predicted like 2 years ago.

Just use one of the forks that removes all the bloat from firefox.

I'm starting to feel like, just as the solution isn't to debloat Windows, the solution isn't to debloat Firefox.

I think I need something new.

I havent used windows since version 7, but debloating makes sense when it's fast and effective like it still was with Windows 10. With Windows 11 it's so hard to debloat the OS that it just doesn't make sense anymore.

My point is as long as it's easier to debloat, than to switch completely its valid and installing a debloated firefox is easy af.

On mobile there's a browser that is gecko based but not Firefox based It's called WebLibre but there's no other option for desktop as far as I know

It's a SLM not a LLM it has existed since a long while in its simple form it has gotten advanced now from spellchecking to understanding what the text means, it doesn't need to crawl every day for data you train it once on a much smaller training set stuff like LanguageTool have used it for a long time, and it uses way less power it's not the bad kind of AI.
