    Have they acknowledged no one wants AI bullshit in their browser yet? If not, I’m still no-longer-interested in Firefox.

      I can both agree with the sentiment expressed here and say you should reconsider if for no other reason than Firefox is the only truly different browser left.

      Everything else is just Chromium forks, and supporting chromium is supporting a Google monopoly on web browsing. Does nobody remember the nightmare that Internet Explorer was?

        Except for the firefox forks, I’m liking Zen, no AI BS. And webkit browsers, oh and Ladybird incoming.

        Ironically, Firefox development is supported almost entirely by Google, and you cannot donate to support their development…

        Outside of WebKit, I can’t think of a single prominent browser Google doesn’t have a lot of influence over. And WebKit is probably debatable.

          If you’re trying to say that both Firefox and Chromium are the same because Google has financial fingers in both projects, I would argue you’re throwing out the baby with the bath water.

            I’m not.

            But I am saying the moral imperative for using Firefox is far shakier than you suggest.

                I don’t think anybody should give up on Mozilla, which also means rejecting their status quo (as they march toward mediocrity) as loudly as possible. Remember when Mozilla tried a Mr. Robot brand tie-in and articles were written about it?

                  I do remember the Mr Robot incident.

                  I still use Firefox over Chromium.

                  You don’t think anyone would give up on Mozilla, but you’re going to be quick to point out any flaws or missteps they’ve made without any further elaboration.

                  Anybody can point at a problem.

      Depends on what you mean by “acknowledge”. There is a global AI kill switch now that disables all of it with 1 click.

      I didn’t feel like it was shoved in my face even before like some claimed. I don’t want any AI, at all, but I never felt like I had to actively avoid it either.
