a plan could be:

- switch immediately to forks maintained by people determined to not let any of these planned enshitified anti-features live;

- learn to live with different views of the web (qutebrowser, links -g, etc.) for truly web-compliant sites;

- engage in a serious, critical discussion on collectively securing a future (that includes funding) for auditing and mid- /long-term developments such as a safe/reliable web-browser;

- watch/support https://servo.org/

Servo aims to empower developers with a lightweight, high-performance alternative for embedding web technologies in applications.

Servo is a web rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications.

here's a thought experiment:

1. send them a legal notice that you do not authorize the collection or use of their information

2. remove the enshittified terms of service from the program, as authorized by the copyright license, but leave the data-snooping malfeatures in place, sending them the data that you have not authorized them to use

3. sue the hell out of them for using the data without authorization, until they implement, on their side, as they should, code that refuses to accept data that hasn't been formally authorized through explicit registration, opting in and consent, as opposed to by presumed adherence to terms of service
