A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Uuuugggghhhh....
Alright, so questions:
LibreWolf or Waterfox?
Personally I main Librewolf for a few years now, but you need to remember that cookies are opt-in (shield icon, click the cookie toggle).
Personally I think it's a great feature but some people may prefer cookies always on
I dunno. I tend to reject cookies on most websites by default. Maybe this is good for me.
Librewolf has been my pick for a couple years now. Some sites break because they can't read the canvas, but the fix is easy - allow the site to access it. I messed up a work contract signature because of this once, and my scribbles looked like random digital noise. It was fun explaining that to finance and having them reissue the contract.
Waterfox took all of like 5 minutes to get up and running and imported all my stuff from Firefox too. Going on maybe two months using it and yet to have any issues. I think you’ll be fine with either choice!
Seems either one, including Mullvad, depending on your threat model.
I'd say from lowest to highest threat model for Gecko-forked browsers: WaterFox, Librewolf, Mullvad, Tor.
