Others will present themselves. Mozilla have been on a downtrend for years. I've heard of a couple of alternatives, but I don't have the experience with any of them. If anyone knows any good Firefox alternatives, please let us know!
All good modern browsers are based either on firefox or chromium if I'm not terribly misinformed
I think Safari is WebKit.
fair enough, although I'm not sure that falls in the "good" category :P

This used to be the thought, but the trouble is, HTML is now such a vastly complex web of requirements, mixed with the unwritten rules set by Chrome, it’s doubtful another browser could push forward easily; especially without a major source of funding.
If by that you mean “some alt-right-adjacent bro will come up with a new browser that’s essentially reskinned Chromium with a crypto wallet duct-taped to it”, you’re probably right

Vivaldi is pretty alright.
And also based on chrome. That's the thing that people seem to keep ignoring. Your browser options are Firefox or something based on chrome.

I suppose for me personally the question will always be: how good is it with adblocks? Especially on youtube as that's where I spend a lot of my time. SponsorBlock on Firefox has been invaluable for me, not just blocking ads, but auto-skipping the whole "like, comment subscribe" and in-video ads etc.
It has Adblock Plus built in which is not the best, but still pretty alright. You can still install most regular chrome extensions though and should be able to get mostly the same experience you have now.

Mozilla chose to waste most of it.
Right? I don't need AI BS. I just want a solid browser.
Investors want AI BS that’s why.
But, but but, it's AI!! It'll solve ~~none~~ all of your problems!
I kinda get why they (and other companies) have to try AI at the moment though.
It’s not what people claim it is, but it could end up being an essential tool for the modern world, and if they don’t invest in it early their business might end up getting left behind.
We’ve certainly seen companies fall because they’ve not tried to stay on the cutting edge before.

Best example I can think of is Kodak and digital cameras. They invented it then sat on it until it was too late because they didn't want to cut into their film scam.

What do you mean, you don't want an opt-out ad tracker?
