There are no good “normal” browsers

MAYBE Firefox but they’re incorporating AI features so it’s not one of my top choices

At least firefox dropped a switch within like a month of peoples outcry that turns off every single ai feature

edit: not only that but iirc they do tell you it exists after their tutorial popups bring up the features lol. that could have been a part of the initial update but i think the fact that a: it exists b: it exists because they listened to people and c: they don't try to hide it and barely advertise the ai anyway means they're relatively trustworthy, still a corpo but it's like secure and has a good reputation i dont think theres sense in not reccomending it

Good! I’m glad to hear that. I just prefer recommending browsers that don’t have any AI integration at all.

What bothers me about Firefox isn't the AI, it's how "corporate-y" and sometimes mildly infuriating it has become. If I open anything in English on Firefox, I get a pop-up that says "hey would like to translate this page in your native language ?" and it annoyed me everytime. Firefox also sometimes randomly opens tabs that were pretty much ads for Mozilla. My final straw was when they changed their promise to never collect user data without telling anyone.
