After countless experiences of having settings reverted back to defaults upon updating, and having updates always coming with surprises like a Kinder Joy Surprise in the 00s, I doubt something wouldn’t end up smuggled like soldiers (“Agentic agents!”) inside a seemingly innocuous wooden monument. For example, the Waterfox version I’m using as of now (6.6.10) doesn’t seem to ship with the “Firefox’s VeRy HeLpFuL AgEnTiC bRoWsEr™ features” which can’t exactly be prevented from eventually bleeding through its forks, and this includes Waterfox. If it didn’t yet, it’ll do eventually as soon as Googl… I mean, Mozilla, makes it part of non-removable binary blobs within the upstream.
At this point, my only browser update will be when Servo browser finally debuts as an usable browser for daily web browsing affairs.

FR, I too salivate for browser market competition, tire of everything being Chromium or GECKO.
Maybe the Year of the Linux wil hasten it.
