@Vivaldi If only there was a Firefox version of this. I like Vivaldi, they're my second choice, but they still are on Googles turf.

@pfr @zenbrowser I meant the "no AI" part.

@hackillu @zenbrowser I suppose I place the connection to Google higher in my "avoid" priority than a built in AI UX wrapper that doesn't really do much unless you interact with it. Then again, I use AI so I guess I forfeit any opinion on the topic.

@pfr @zenbrowser Thing is - all are connected to Google. FF is funded by Google, Zen uses this Google funded browser engine as its base, and Vivaldi uses the engine funded and built by Google. I think they are on Google home turf and that seems bad to me. But I still like Vivaldi.

@pfr @zenbrowser @[email protected] I want them to get through too, I'm just skeptical.

@hackillu not gonna lie, I actually quite like Gnome Web (Epiphany). I use it to create web apps mostly which works really well. With extensions enabled it's actually pretty nice
