I came across a Tumblr post detailing how to disable AI "features" in Firefox as of 11/20/25 and I'm expecting an arms race of new/changed fields vs new strategies to disable them. So I wanted to ask, what would you recommend a lifelong Firefox user use, for PC and Android?

A proprietary chrome based browser that is. But nevertheless one that seems to superior I'm considering seeking refuge there until Servo is ready.

After a few months in LibreWolf I still don't feel at home.

Someone really needs to make a general purpose fork of librewolf that turns on the features you need for compatibility and ease of use by default, and the regular librewolf can stay hardened.

I moved from Chrome to Firefox / Fennec to Vivaldi for Windows and Android, and after disabling a lot of the UI bloat I've honestly not had an issue with it. Synced tabs across devices, fast performance, and built in ad-blocking with option to add extensions.
