I use Floorp on desktop. Since I got used to it, I just can't live without that advanced sidebar. Being able to open the mobile versions of web pages right on the side is just too useful.

Quick post about AI-free FireFox Based Browsers (Keep your Addons and avoid the Bloat)
(lemmy.world)
Just pick one - All the Fox functionality without bloatware
Librewolf - https://librewolf.net/
Waterfox - https://www.waterfox.com/
Zen Browser - https://zen-browser.app/
More browsers here - https://alternativeto.net/category/browsers/firefox-based/
You can also use this add to disable the ~~shitload~~ ai function in many search engines in one go
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-ai/
GitHub page - https://github.com/jruns/disable-ai
You can find all the links on Mastodon<
Why do so many people push changing browsers over using something like arkenfox? As far as I know, librewolf is essentially firefox with arkenfox preconfigured.
While I understand that setting up a config is probably beyond the scope of your average browser user, I rarely even see the alternative mentioned. Nor do I rarely see people mention the downsides of using a downstream branch - mostly security updates potentially being late.
If you use fennec on android, I think you can even just copy your config to your phone and have it working the same there.

Last I used librewolf/waterfox they lagged behind a few days on security updates, so I switched to regular Firefox with arkenfox user.js
I use Fennec in Android and Librewolf in Linux.
Libre wolf needs a bit of tweaking at the begining but then works like charm.
