Cut off my hands so that however much I was tempted, coerced or transgressed, I would not be able to fuck it up. IE, I would make sure it stayed that way.

For me, FF remains my first choice. I have to use Chrome-based browsers though, for reliable video and other tasks. Whenever the subject arises, though, I always immediately remember the removal of about:config in the Android version. This of course can be mediated by installing Nightly, but FF is making a big statement by removing that control option from the public. And they have pretty much said, we did it because you are incompetent, and too stupid to have the tool and wield it responsibly, so you can't have it. For anyone who takes the time to parse through the endless options there in about:config, many are borderline malice. Dom Battery, auto-play, and many more are just flagrantly anti-user and completely unnecessary. That is all said without waxing idealistic and wailing that a browser should fundamentally be a browser -- and yet, it's bigger than an entire OS. And they have now imposed AI, but at least it is off by default, which is a good sign, for me. I suppose to not implement AI, would essentially kick them out of the game. Understandable. Just keep the boundaries.
