Why would I use something other than firefox?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

because Mozilla insists on sucking major ass? idk

Mozilla sucks more ass than Google in your opinion?

[–] timeghost@lemmy.world 1 points 50 minutes ago

It's the important yet subtle differences that matter most between sucking ass and blowing goats.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

absolutely not! that wasn't part of your question though.

Well, I would recommend waterfox over firefox because waterfox has just straight up removed any AI stuff rather than giving you the option to opt out of it.

Sounds like a lot more work than just opting out

Packagemanager Install waterfox

~ish, waterfox is reconfigured firefox. They have a single button sync on first launch to clone your firefox data over, it took me like 60 seconds to swap everything over. And you get a lot more than just removing AI from firefox, it's essentially a preconfigured firefox. Removes a lot of telemetry and analytic stuff, strict-enforces better security protocols, prettier layout and stuff.

It doesn't really buy you any new functionality, but it's way quicker to just use waterfox than it is to spend hours configuring the weird shit like private DNS in firefox.

I agree, but also Waterfox just generally has a more free/unmonitozed default and the AI stuff is just an example. It's a one-time switch to Waterfox and it' will forever turn off/on the stuff that you would otherwise have to do manually.
