    Is there an alternative at this point? I tried Brave on a recommendation and its got AI integrated from default with opt out required.

      LibreWolf and IronFox are forks that completely remove the AI stuff (among other privacy tweaks) as far as I’m aware.

      People have also been recommending Waterfox quite often recently.

      There’s Vivaldi which is Chromium and not open source, but AFAIK is currently the only big browser that is explicitly not going to include AI features.
