I tested firefox recently. It had some AI summary button or something
that was new. I instantly wanted to eliminate this from the UI but I
don't know how to do that. I guess it is possible? But it probably
requires some time and research; the thing I don't need or want this,
it just takes away space.
Then I remembered why I no longer use firefox. I believe we, as users,
need to take back the open web. The days of some random developers
ruining the UI should really be over, be it firefox, or Google chrome
killing ublock origin. We need to fight back.

Started a fresh profile, but couldn't find an AI button. The AI stuff in the context menu? You can remove the chat bot functionality right there. As for the buttons, if there is an undesirable button, it should be removable via context menu or toolbar customization.
Almost all "alternative" browsers are Chromium based or Gecko/Firefox based. If there are any that are truly scratch-built other than the text-based browsers such as lynx or w3m I'd be interested to hear about them. I'd guess they are extremely limited in features.
