I'll just leave this here

It's FireFox but

• no telemetry/spying-on-you
• no AI
• uBlock Origin enabled

In other words, it's the open source browser Mozilla was always supposed to be.
Plus it's typically not more than 12 hrs behind any FF release.

Accept one of our free tanks ! They get 100 MPG and go 100 MPH over any terrain!

That's all well and good that they give you the ability to turn it off. What's not changing though is that most of their focus will be on integrating AI which most people don't want. As a result the pace of other new features being tested/implemented will probably slow significantly.

Pepperidge Farms remembers when Firefox had a control like that to turn JavaScript on and off. The rest of you are supposed to have forgotten. Oops.

Can someone please put a responsible adult in charge of that damned organization?

They actually listened to the community, thats very nice.

No. Listening to the community would involve not polluting the browser with that shit in the first fucking place.

What do you mean "they actually listened to the community"? If they'd listen to the community, there'd be NO AI whatsoever.

How about they just... not include the LLM bullshit in the first place? Just make a browser that strictly renders text and images according to W3C standards?

Hey let's do the thing no one wants because our management is incompetent.

And as always... There is no actual "AI" being used here.

It's especially hilarious how translation programs, which have existed for decades, are suddenly considered "AI". Likewise with all of "AI".

It's also pretty funny how mad people get about translations, image classification, grouping... These are just like basic 101 programs with zero "AI" involved. Not much to get mad about.

Disabled. By. Default.

AI "Enhancements," fuck off.

Fuck this BS.

So I can use AI to group my tabs but I can't even group tabs in the first place on mobile? Epic prioritization

Waterfox is a great alternative
