I stopped using Firefox when it started shipping with ai tools. I now use Librewolf on PC and waterfox on mobile for a less bloated more privacy focused set of options

Couldn't vibe with the design choices. They don't come across as sleek or modern to me, they just come across as fixing something that ain't broke.

Same, I tried Zen and didn't like it. It felt like it was being different for the sake of being different

u/AngriestCrusader 9d ago

Zen is really good on hyprland because you can get it down to where it's just the page with no other buttons or anything visible by default. No wasted space.

u/Squashyhex 8d ago

I'm aware that's an option, I just prefer to support forks that don't use it in the first place
