Every single time someone mentions they abandoned firefox for something “better”, it’s chromium based. Privacy is good, but the most important for me is to avoid monopoly/monoculture.
I get it but, if it’s maintained by a different party then Google, even then there’s going to be some conflict of interest compared to Google’s Chrome and Brave’s Chrome for instance.
But if you would rather use the ai features in Firefox, then have at it. Falkon doesn’t have any mention of ai in it’s settings or features. Nor does it have an ad network. Sometimes you got to look at more then just “it’s based on Cromium.”

If they control the browser core they control the web, no two ways about it.
Would you say Webkit would be a better browser engine, since Blink was based on Webkit and not the other way around?
Falkon is based on QtWebEngine.
So not Chromium although they may share renderer, but last I heard QtWebEngine was based on Webkit.
