Do yourself a favour and use LibreWolf or WaterFox instead.

Or just keep using Firefox and don't use the entirely optional and opt-in features you don't need. The same as always.

I'm completely flabbergasted why people get their panties in a twist over

  • completely local features that happen to be backed by machine learning models (the translation feature is a huge privacy win over sending your text to Google translate)
  • opt-in LLM integration that nobody forces you to use

Or further favourable: Konform Browser.

Tor Browser and Mullvad Browser also worthy mentions.
