As far as I'm aware every alternative to Firefox is one or more of:

- Chromium, so strictly worse

- Based on Chromium, so strictly worse

- A skin on Firefox, so may as well be Firefox

- Deeply entwined with cryptocurrency bros or AI grift, so unacceptable

- Not production ready

I am not aware of any browser that has as sophisticated ad blocking
features as Firefox does. In particular, anything based on Chromium is
the product of an ad company so is never going to be able to reliably
block ads.

None of this is to say that I believe Firefox or Mozilla are perfect.

Someone will probably be along now to say they manage perfectly well
hiring an intern to sketch the contents of webpages onto the side of a
potato then mail it to their dead drop once a month and any other
requirements are pure hedonism. All answers are subjective.

Thanks,
Andy
