not at all an original opinion, but i'm shopping for a new browser and it is *crazy* how ubiquitous having ai bullshit shoved into software is now. i'm trying out arc, which has a lot of features that i like, but i cannot help but think of their dumbass ai feature hovering over my head. sure, it's optional for the moment, but it's always "optional" until it isn't!
I am currently using Pale Moon if you haven't already heard or evaluated it. I don't proclaim any special knowledge about it. When I adopted it, it still had the ability to turn javascript on and off which I found especially nice. Unfortunately, they have since made that option harder and so I have had to adapt to that development. Still, the bulk of my browsing is with Firefox and Pale Moon, should that help you.

Maybe not original but bares repeating. This AI stuff getting shoved everywhere is such a waste of space, time, and resources.
