    There are plenty of forks of Firefox, many of which will likely not follow Mozilla’s lead when it comes to adding non-essential functionality to the core product.

      Ok, but you’re still using firefox under the hood. Same story as the chrome reskins: you are beholden to what upstream does. You can go around limitations and do stuff differently, but pretty sure it’s not the forks that will keep eg. the extension manifest V2 alive in chrome to be able to have a real ad blocker.

        Every fork has a reason it exists, which is to do something specific differently from the upstream. There’s almost guaranteed going to be a fork whose whole shtick is going to be “no built-in AI”.
