Update again: I just uninstalled Maxthon. It actually installed uuGPT on my computer as a separate program, and pinned a shortcut to the taskbar. I did not notice (& am pretty watchful for these things) it ask permission to do so during setup.
Previous Update: Just tried to search for something instead of search results, Maxthon uses an integrated AI chatbot called uuGPT - which apparently integrates all of the major chatbots into one. Not great, I guess.

I've been trying out a bunch of "alternative" browsers based on what I've read here, but there's a couple I haven't really seen discussed much: Epic and Maxthon browsers. I know you guys will have deets and opinions so let me hear them!
So far, I like Maxthon, but it's a bit "sign up for an account" which you can bypass but still... I don't need an account to use a browser, thank you. Otherwise it seems fine. I only just found Epic so I'm still trying that.
Update: I've uninstalled Maxthon because it installs AI chatbot uuGPT on my computer without asking.
Care to elaborate on how Epic is not private? It’s whole pitch is about privacy, and I wonder what they’re hiding then.
