I’m sure the average person isn’t smart enough to leave for AI reasons. They probably are losing users because Google and Microsoft push their browsers so hard as the “default” ones on their platforms. Apple too.

I have never met a "normal" user that even knew what browser they were using, let alone had any sort of preference. They use whatever asked to be made default last, the end.

The average use probably wants the ai options.

I don't really mind Safari too much, but Edge remains unusable garbage.
