Been using Firefox for as long as I can remember now. Never had a reason to switch away, and I'm feeling rather vindicated.

I think enshittification is a one-way street.
There will be a few who will be vultures and pick the bones clean.
Harris failed to differentiate herself from Biden, and people were plenty salty with Biden.
Totally fair
Where, if you don't mind me asking?
The U.S. even has a designated area to test all this shit out on before bringing it home.
To the surprise of absolutely no one. Tech companies are going to force this shit down our throats whether we want it or not, and Trump is going to pave the way for it.
AI is the new "smart connected" that they are going to shoehorn into anything and everything. No one is asking for AI on Notepad.
Support from local and state governments does make a difference though. While federal agencies can still enforce these laws, local/state agencies could look the other way. Cannabis is still federally illegal, but some states have basically said "no thanks, we're good as long as you stick to our rules on it."
It comes down to how much state governments want to go to bat for their constituencies and how much the federal government wants to press the issue. All else being equal, I'd rather be in a state that stands up for my rights than one that doesn't.
Especially Israel
Why? They rolled Iran's proxies, and (if western media is to be believed) Iran itself has been shown to be a paper tiger. Their big ballistic missile attack was neutered, and the big air strike on their soil was reported to be very devastating to air defenses and missile construction.
So we have a situation of Schrodinger's Iran. They are simultaneously super dangerous, and to quote Kamala Harris "Iran is greatest U.S. adversary." Or they are no match for Israel's superior technology and intelligence agencies.
