Helium was my primary browser for a couple months but it crashed every time there was an update. Back to Chrome now, but I enjoyed it enough to give it another try once it is out of beta.

I do get the crash report think on update too! But it doesn't seem to affect anything and it relaunches with the fresh version, so I've been sticking with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

plug for librewolf, for those willing to trust someone else taking a stab at prioritizing browser security , with min frictions.

all firefox plugins still work, and so far have been able to find tweaks if there is really is a 'must have' new feature.

Thanks for the rec, I didn't know about it!

just beware, librewolf is especially suspicious of free\public AI.

but if you need to login for your services, it should not matter.

I don't really use any free/public AI, but thanks for the heads up!

Great post! The Google purchase of Spirit's info -- as well as the 'scandal' around Anthropic's Project Panama -- is a reminder that we've only just begun tapping into the so-vast-as-to-be-inexhaustible reserves of information. I wrote a post about it a few months ago: https://matzko.substack.com/p/the-ai-training-data-reserves-run
