@XLE @BigDiction Reminds me quite a bit of DuckDuckGo allow-listing Microsoft trackers: https://www.pcmag.com/news/duckduckgos-browser-wont-block-microsofts-trackers

@Mac Librewolf.

@Mac Yeah, I do. 👍

@TrickDacy Sorry, I missed the context here and my comment didn’t make much sense.

Removing the dumb comments and sorry for wasting your time.

@TrickDacy In the case of AI, we are going from a good place to a worse one.

If the AI in Firefox is “the good”, what is the “perfect”? More AI?

Maybe we need to agree that there is a version of Firefox with AI that is perfect before we can then agree that the implementation isn’t perfect (but is good).

@TrickDacy I think people use this phrase to say that even if something isn’t perfect, it’s better than before - that is coming from my reading of the phrase on Wikipedia: “The phrase suggests that achieving absolute perfection may be impossible, and that the pursuit of perfection should not prevent someone from recognizing or completing work that is imperfect yet still valuable.”

If you don’t agree, I guess we can start there.

@D1re_W0lf @wraptile Vivaldi never left X.

@TrickDacy @InternetCitizen2 That would seem to excuse a lot of damage - “locking up these protesters isn’t perfect, but it is good”, “removing these bike lanes isn’t perfect, but it is good”, “polluting in this river isn’t perfect, but the chemicals we are selling is good”.

I don’t really think this sentiment works very well at all when defending things getting worse - I think people generally want to say that a modest improvement is better than none.

Is making things worse better than not?

@XLE @TrickDacy I wouldn’t use a Chrome fork over Firefox, but I would also disable all data collection in Firefox.

Just the browser, please.

@recurse @Kenny2999 I moved to Librewolf. You need to disable some of the privacy nerdery if you aren’t a privacy nerd - otherwise, it is basically Firefox.

@TrickDacy No, my contention is that if Mozilla wants people to contribute to their cause, they shouldn’t stomp on the people that support their cause.

Otherwise, other people can support whatever their new cause is - since it isn’t compatible with what their stated cause is.

PS: No I don’t use a Chromium browser. Shockingly, I still care about the open web.

@TrickDacy @XLE I mean, why are you giving them money?

They are openly spitting in people’s faces: https://www.quippd.com/writing/2025/11/27/thank-mozilla-for-killing-localization-on-support-mozilla-and-replacing-human-contributions-with-AI-bots.html
