Thanks everyone for your active participation here. We knew this would have a lot of interest and so we’ve waited to dive into the conversation because we see some themes emerging that I’ll respond to broadly here. The main concerns I’m noting are around the license agreements we declare, our use of data for AI, and our Acceptable Use Policy. Below are a few clarifications to each of these areas.

We. Don't. Want. AI.

Great, what other good Gecko Engine Browsers are there?

Waterfox is the safe bet, it's basically just regular Firefox repacked with better defaults and telemetry turned off, but it isn't harden or has add-ons included.

LibreWolf is what I switched to over a year ago, The team behind it have been pretty thorough in scraping out spyware and it comes pre-hardened out the box (but that can break more invasive websites).

Zen is not another browser, it is just reskinned firefox with some tweaks.

Well that's kind of all any gecko based browser can ever be. The way gecko's written, it's a lot more locked into the rest of firefox than Chromium's web engine

Last I checked it was webkit based, did they change it?

Hmm, not that I know of.
