I don’t really care that much about the AI junk. But I’m on my very last straw with Firefox. Recent mobile versions just cannot seem to remember any default search engine setting other than Google. It drives me insane that they can do all these other things but the search engine bug has lingered for weeks.

Agreed. I just don’t want to have to use a Chromium-based browser given Google’s grip on the project - but what alternatives are there if Mozilla goes under?

Safari? Orion?

I genuinely do hate this too, I have to reset it every time. But it's worth 600 million to them so I'm kind of begrudgingly bearing it.

My feelings are the same. Firefox is barely alive, and what little sustains it is goodwill and people not wanting to deal with Google more than is needed. Yet they keep on eating into their goodwill and do seemingly nothing to build it back up again (unless introducing AI features is somehow supposed to be that). Every bad feature implemented could have been a bug that got fixed instead, or effort to push back against Google. And yet they consistently opt to put their effort into features that push people away from them, and don't put that effort into things that would at least retain the people they already have. It's a lose-lose situation.
