That's a very good way of me leaving Firefox behind...
To go where, though? Lynx? Everything else is Chromium and that's not much better.
Am smelling a Firefox fork. Though if AI is anything malicious you can rest assured Debian folks would declaw it.

If the past is any indication, it'll either be off by default or you can turn it off. So maybe it isnt' all the drama that people make it sound like.
