I'm curious to see what Mozilla will do with the shopping assistant portion. Lots of browser extensions, and potentially even some of the Mozilla sponsors offer these types of features, and if Mozilla just stamps them out all at once by integrating that feature, it might lose them some financial support.

On the other hand, I do hope they don't start amassing huge amounts of training data from their uses. It would be a real bummer to not have a decent browser option anymore.

LibreWolf will probably have us covered.

It’s a fork of Firefox without Mozilla telemetry, and defaults set to “privacy on” basically.

I switched a couple months ago and am perfectly happy with it after well over a decade with Firefox.
