How is Mozilla a pro ai slop company?
They're baking in AI bullshit.
You can disable it with two clicks and then never think about it again. Seems like a petty reason to completely switch browsers.
I disagree.
Mozilla has lost their way. They're constantly focused on gimmicky strategies to win users instead of their historic A-game: a privacy focused browser.
All day every day I use both ungoogled-chromium and librewolf. I prefer librewolf but there's so many sites that gecko struggles with now.
I'm not claiming the Mozilla is anything like what they used to be, but the Firefox UX has not degraded in any noticeable way for me that would justify switching to a fork of Firefox.
No one forcing you bro.
Firefox just plain doesn't work on a bunch of sites I use daily. Partly I suppose because devs aren't testing their sites on Firefox anymore.
Additionally, resources spent on AI and other nonsense are resources not spent on their core product. That is to say, you dont know what we're missing out on.
That's a valid complaint. I've never had issues on any sites with Firefox. If the tides change and I start having issues, I will consider finding a better browser.
Australian govt sites, my university's learning platform, xero the accounting software, the time tracking app we use.
I mean, its possible to use all these things in Firefox and there's only specific features that don't work. However, having to "try again in chrome" every time something glitches is a real pain.
I daily drive both librewolf and ungoogled-chromium, and use whichever I like best for whatever platform.
