At least Firefox recently got a 1-click "AI off" button. I'd prefer if Mozilla concentrated on the rendering engine first and foremost but that 1-click solution isn't so bad. So at least there's that.

I’ll stop looking for alternatives when it becomes a one click AI on button instead.

Problem is that well maintained alternatives without that shit don't exist. Sure, there are Chromium and Firefox forks that strip all that shit but are you really willing to trust you data security with a fork created by two dudes in their free time to deliver updates the same day as their upstream projects? I'm not. So I rather use Firefox, turn that shit off manually and continue to hope that Servo will be good enough in two years (doubtful).

Yup, that’s why I’m still looking.

I think the best current candidate is WebKit-GTK but here's the looking bit again: I'm looking for a WebKit-GTK browser that adopts traditional cross-desktop UX and not GNOME header bars.

Librewolf has done a great job and has a strong stance on disabling/removing AI pieces

But yeah, it's just sad to always be fighting against the tide

Kudos to its little brother, Ironfox.
