It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"
Just like Google plan with Chrome, Mozilla aren't sitting still on expanding Firefox into something resembling a web browser but with more AI.

Very unfortunate development, which seems par for the course from Mozilla these days.
I'm jumping ship. Which browser would y'all recommend at this point? Preferably something I can get on android as well as linux.
LibreWolf is a great alternative on Linux. It’s Firefox with all the bs stripped out and out-of-the-box privacy settings turned on.
This is what I have used for the last few years (after being a Firefox user for almost 2 decades), and yeah we're probably safe for a little while, but it seems the writing is on the wall. The LibreWolf team can only do so much when the core browser is constantly being enshittified. I hoped this was a flash in the pan thing and LibreWolf would save us until Mozilla regained its senses, but it seems they've gone batshit.
I too will be keeping my eyes peeled for what to use next.
I'm hoping LibreWolf and Iron Fox hold out long enough for Ladybird to take off and I'll be switching
What do you do to move your bookmarks/history over?
I really do like using Firefox sync. I know its probably bad but it is a super nice feature that works.
There's certain files you can tell the browser to generate that is basically a list of all that stuff. Then just point librewolf to them. Pretty sure the librewolf website has a step by step guide.

I'm a fan of Vivaldi browser. Works great on Linux and Android. Bonus: Their leadership has gone on record stating there will be no AI in their browser.
Where do they stand on manifest v3 things? Can we use uBlock origin? Full, not lite. Haven’t followed them enough to know.
uBlock origin works fine in Vivaldi. It comes with its own ad blocker (based of of uBlock, I think). I'm not sure what their stance on Manifest v3 is. I would recommend hitting up their site https://vivaldi.com/
I found their roadmap for 2026 to be pretty inspiring.
How do you find the speed vs Firefox?
Honestly, it's been so long since I used Firefox, I really don't have a frame of reference. I'll just say that I find the speed adequate for my needs, and I have multiple tabs open (12+).
12? Only 12? Bruh. My Firefox legit gave up and just shows an infinity symbol 😭
Yah. I'm a bit of a tab lightweight, I s'pose.
Waterfox works in both, it's not on f-droid so if you want to avoid the Play store then you have to use something like Obtainium
