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

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.

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

[-] sakuraba@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

Hold your click for at least one second on any link and it will show a preview of the link and suggest you to use AI to describe it

[-] mr_account@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

I genuinely thought you said "hold your dick for at least one second"

Settings > scroll down to "General" > look at the options under "Enable link previews". You can turn the previews off altogether or just turn off the AI part

This is a defence only until it isn't - although thank you for the tip.

That's how Windows has been going for years - adding more and more crap and make it all default enabled, and people are like "Oh just turn it off bro."

Then every update adds more unwanted options that get increasingly difficult to turn off, or randomly turn themselves back on, and before you know it we've reached a point where every new install soon needs an entire checklist to go through to make things actually usable again.

That is not how life should be. I want something that respects me by default, and if it wants me to try a feature I might find even slightly objectional, I should have to explicitly opt-in and say YES.

Firefox is setting a precedent by moving in this direction, and they've showed their hand. There's only more where this came from, and I won't tolerate it, even if I can turn it off.

When the Firefox terms and conditions drama happened some months back, that was the push I needed to switch to Librewolf. It's a Firefox fork with privacy-respecting settings out of the gate, no sponsored content, no ads, uBlock pre-installed, and absolutely zero AI. If you're a Firefox user, I recommend you try it too.

[-] dreamos82@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

In my opinion this is one of the main issues. All those features should be disabled by default, and only the user decide if they want to enable them!

But they are doing the opposite.

Save us ~~Ladybird~~ Servo, you're our only hope.

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

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 5 points 2 weeks ago

Waterfox is my favorite for sure, very lightweight too.

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Discord doesn't like it when it comes to voice-chat in the Android app, sadly (even though I know we should all leave Discord, but Revolt and Matrix can barely hold candles to the flame of its incredibly sophisticated streaming system), but yes, I've been on Waterfox for some time now.

I could never not use zen or the similar browsers

[-] Glifted@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Looks nice but how's the ad blocking performance? I'm currently using Librewolf with ublock origin and a pi-hole and I basically never see ads anymore

[-] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago

I just use uBlock Origin with Zen and I never see ads. Not sure if it works on Youtube or any other streaming sites as I do not use any of them.

you'll have about the same experience with zen+ublock, all told. obviously there's more advanced privacy features you'll lose, but your advertising experience will be about the same, nearly if not identical

The image is nearly 10 months old!

Anyone that is not using Libre Wolf or equivalent should be to take advantage of the wonderful privacy suite.

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