Librewolf. You're welcome.
Another reason not to use vanilla Firefox.
Because it costs money to add shit nobody wants so we need sponsors, to add more shit nobody wants…
"Nobody wants" is false.
"Almost nobody wants". Happy?
Can you back it up with data? Or is it just what your bubble thinks? For whatever reason anti-AI sentiment seems very prevalent on much of the Fediverse, but the Fediverse as a whole is niche.
It's not what I think, it's just a template/funny answer to continue the discussion
Ew. Also, LibreWolf.
I prefer waterfox but i normally use them booth as they are awesome (one just with the basic addons and the other with all the addons i want but they could break websites)
I’m not upvoting out of support for this move but to spread awareness
Whereas I'm upvoting because I support adding options. If you don't like it, don't use it.

Floorp
I legit can't get over the name, and the interface is buggy.
The name is either made to enounce the sound of a toilet plunger releasing its suction, or it's meant to be pronounced "floor pee".
I'll pick Librewolf instead.
This is just a search engine option not some built in AI tool.
No issue here other than fuck AI in general. Just don't use it.
Firefox adding another search engine choice isn't really headline news to me but cool I guess, especially if it's another option that's not Google?
I'll continue using something else, though.
You can also manually add or remove search engines (at least in current Mozilla releases)
It's not a search engine, it's a random text generator disguised as an engine. It's worse than Google, if you can believe it. We don't need more shit that is worse than Google
I have no idea why they call it "integration"? It's just a search option like any other search option.
Personally I have 10 search options enabled already, so this is number 11, and if I don't like it, I will just disable it, which is dead easy to do, with a button for the purpose of changing settings right beside the search options.
I tried it for 2 terms I know very well, and the response was very good, but I would never trust an AI response without double checking.
pretty easy to just remove it as an option. settings/search/ scroll down to list of search engines, click perplexity, click remove. If enough people do this, maybe they will get the hint.
They should listen to Meredith Whittaker (German) the boss of Signal.
Link 404s for me.
I changed it, should work now.
Why does AI need to be shoved into everything, honestly its not AI its just an LLM that summarizes your search, and plays as a yes man.
It's totally "shoved" when it's just an additional option in the search engine sélection...
AI has money and Mozilla needs it. Are you going to pay for Firefox development?
How about not adding more AI shit instead?
It's just a search engine choice.
I agree with the sentiment, but this is quite possibly the least offensive idea Mozilla has had in a while.
I get that Mozilla needs to keep the lights on but... yeah.
I've increasingly been meaning to switch to a fork. Anyone aware of a good way to self host a bookmark (and preferably tab) sync?
