What you do will, in part, depend on how you feel about 2 things:

1. Mozilla is now an advertising business - see e.g. links in this El Reg post [0].

2. How you feel about the alternatives.

Behind the PR bluffing of the last few days, #1 is clear. Mozilla has hitched the wagon to advertising.

There's unlikely to be a single good answer for #2. All the alternatives have compromises: Vivaldi is chrome-based and has some closed source code; Brave has crypto and Eich's political views (and also chrome-based; the various firefox forks (LibreWolf, PaleMoon, Waterfox, ...) all have questions over their sustainability.

Perhaps the most promising is Ladybird, but it's a good way off yet.

Let's hope we're near the botton of the enshitification curve and there are positives on the horizon somewhere.
