I use Brave and LibreWolf. The LibreWolf developers have said they'll 
strip out any AI found in the Firefox codebase. Brave does have the Leo AI 
that can be disabled. Tor is available from Brave or as a standalone. I 
use the standalone.

Users may think they don't want JavaScript but that will significantly 
impact their browsing experience. Better put on a black hat if you expect 
to sneak by Cloudflare, Anubis, or other tools used by sites to prevent 
scraping by bots, DDoS attacks, and other 'features' of the web in 2026.
