Microsoft deliberately engineered its operating system to make installing an alternative browser on Windows difficult. This is what it looks and feels like to be a PC user trying to choose your own browser:

Firefox@firefox.com · 4w agoWe believe an open web starts with choice. That includes AI models. We’re excited to be partnering with Mistral to bring open-source AI to Firefox Smart Window beta and expand access to France, with French-language support.
I started looking around for an alternative when the CEO started on his AI bullshit and found @waterfox.net to be agreeable.

Mozilla has just announced a partnership with Mistral. One thing that Waterfox won't do is send your browsing history to an AI company. Not through oblivious methods or any other way.

I've only been using the paid search service by @waterfox.net for a week, and I can already tell it's worth every penny. I've had three specific things I needed to find, and Waterfox search got me what I needed within two clicks for each. Highly recommend for de-enshittified search.
The built-in adblocker is a really nice feature!
Waterfox@waterfox.com · 5mo agoWaterfox 6.6.13 is rolling out! Auto-updates to follow soon... Big changes - the built-in ad blocker is now available to use, and Startpage has been temporarily replaced with 1.org (a charitable search engine). Plus, tracking protection fixes and web compat work. www.waterfox.com/releases/6.6...
In an internet world being overrun by tech bro billionaires hell bent on force feeding us ai slop to milk us for even more money, we have to actively support an alternative. The work Alex Kontos is doing with @waterfox.net is worth supporting, and as of today I'm doing just that.
