I probably won't run anything besides Firefox for my web browser. But I see the web as broken beyond repair in regards to the way it is.
So I am more interested in moving away from the web. Things like using terminal programs (youtube-dl, rtv etc.), native GUI apps, or complete alternate protocols like Gemini[1].
I see the web being completely out of my control as it is. I see my usage of it as being more of a virtual machine for the things I need it for (government stuff, communication platforms etc.).
I feel like slowly packing up and leaving.
But I will still try and exert some decision making while I have to use it. And I intend to do this by choosing Firefox-based browsers.
