Well, I still haven't seen any AI in my Firefox and I'm planing on using it until I will.

There are a bunch of flags in about:config you can check as well, if you wanna be extra sure they're turned off. Just search for browser.ml. There are more but this was all I could capture in one screenshot. Bold means I had to change it, which means it was on by default. That said I'm using CachyOS repos, not the direct Arch ones.

Long ago, the Four Fox Nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Firefox Nation attacked.

A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new developer, a script kiddy named Aang. And although his python skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.

They’re not perfect, but having a real alternative engine matters more than people realize.

I really hope Firefox gets forked, and ends up like OpenOffice

LibreWolf is not a fork, though. It's a customised version of FF, so every shit they introduce has to be painstakingly removed by the LW team, provided that is even possible. (See Manifest V3 in Chrome.)

It's literally impossible to maintain a modern browser without extreme funding and competent engineers

LibreWolf is not a fork, though.

It certainly is.

They duplicate the code, creating a "fork" under their control, and make independent changes to the code. That is all that is needed to satisfy the "fork" definition.

“AI should always be a choice—something people can easily turn off." “It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.”

How does he not get how contradictory these positions sound. Really a missed opportunity to brand themselves as the browser without AI bullshit and gain users who want to get away from that crap. Sure, they promise it'll have an off switch, but even if that's true, they're still wasting a lot of their very limited budget pursuing it. Really shows where their priorities are.

Yeah I'm switch off Firefox finally. I tried Floorp it does have some the same AI stuff you have to turn off. Waterfox doesn't have it in at all. So Waterfox it is.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Waterfox is my favorite for sure, very lightweight too.

I hope enough people remain on this AI infested ghost ship that it can keep providing a base for librewolf.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago

tbf, firefox left the room years ago.

[–] MattW03@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

LibreWolf looks good these days.

As there seems to have been recent confusion about this, just a quick "official" toot to then pin: we haven't and won't support "generative AI" related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it "slipped through". As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.

I know I'm gonna get a lot of flack for suggesting this, but Vivaldi feels like what Firefox should have been. More customizability, less AI and sponsored crap. They are the only major browser offering an option for a small, reasonably sized tab bar rather than the tab bars with 3 layers of padding and more whitespace than text.

Additionally, Vivaldi doesn't pester you with twice-a-day update pop-ups or worse, the dreaded "Restart to keep using Firefox," it just gets out of your way like a good browser should.

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 38 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Vivaldi is not open-source, so it shouldn't even be considered as an option. Try !waterfox@programming.dev!

Is it chromium? If yes than pass. Did everyone forgot when Google tried to use chromium to take control with this bullshit?
