Opera neon is a bullshit AI browser based on chromium.

Orion is different, but just enough. It's based on Apple's WebKit. And it's only on apple devices, unfortunately.

Comet is by far the worst option you mentioned. It's made by perplexity AI so is bound to be data-guzzling. Awful idea. Plus, it's just Chromium again.

Some actual challenges are coming, but they're still in pre-alpha. Ladybird and Servo, I think.

On Linux, Falkon and Gnome Web are based on WebKit. Windows and Linux, Cromite, LibreWolf, and Floorp are great options without any garbage AI.

For android, Cromite and Fennec are good options, but the pickings are slim overall.

I use Ironwolf on Android. Fennec is nice. There's also Klar/Focus, but it is so stripped down that it doesn't have Firefox Sync, and I find that an indispensable feature for now.

Same. Sometimes IronWolf breaks pages but otherwise it's a good option.

Why would you ever settle for some garbage AI powered browser when there are 1001 Firefox forks without an integrated slop generator?

Do not want an AI browser. I'm more likely to switch to a text-only CLI browser.

Orion is a fine choice for Mac or iPad. Basically Safari with Firefox/Chrome extension support, more customizability, and a few other niceties.

Edit: not open source, FYI.

Why the hell would someone who wants to move away from Firefox because of their user unfriendly decisions want to use Comet, an AI browser from the same exact company Firefox is using to poison their own browser??
