Nah, Vivaldi still has a much better anti-ai stance. Runs faster and still loads uBlock. This will likely change soon, but I'm not rushing to Firefox until I need to. Firefox is funded by Google anyway.
That sounds like Firefox only exists because Google/Alphabet pays for it.
In reality Firefox/Mozilla have made a deal to make Google the default search engine on the default home page.
That would be a pretty stupid business decision to not have free money, what are they gonna do? Have Bing as the default search engine?
Firefox could develop (or pay for someone else to develop) a search engine that doesn't require google or bing's search indexes.
