Librewolf, Mullvad, Tor, Snowwassel… There’s more than one Firefox. Surely if some fucked up AI integration was included, one of them would just disable it.
UNIX-like operating systems that utilize kernels other than Linux exist. FreeBSD, Plan9, etc. Not to mention that the Linux kernel isn’t developed by a single person or even a single organization. Mozilla’s governance structure is totally different.
Firefox users were too cocky and wouldn’t shut up about how amazing it is. The universe took them down a peg.
Do you hear that Linux users?
There’s only one Firefox, there’s fucktonnes of Linux Distros. I am even willing to move to fucking Arch if push comes to shove.

None of them have the manpower or money to maintain a browser engine.
For reference, Opera stopped years ago and even Microsoft gave up.
You’re correct, that’s why they are not maintaining a browser engine.
They are forks of Firefox with relatively small changes, like default configs, telemetry disabled or Firefox sync and pocket removed.
But that doesn’t help if Mozilla goes away
There is only one linux kernel.
I’d like to see Linus’s response if anyone tried to enshittify the kernel.
