I'll consider using Mozilla once Anthony Enzor-DeMeo is fired or fucks off.
My decision has been rammed through in the exact same uncaring and unilateral way that Tony wants to ram AI down Mozilla users throats.

It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"
(www.gamingonlinux.com)
Ok so where do I go? Waterfox?
Floorp is good
compare to vivaldi flat out refusing ai, keeping mv2, and actually building a blocker and tracker into the browser.

Well, older news is: "Firefox has evolved into the first thing I uninstall when I install Fedora, or any other Linux distro for that matter". Since the first mention of their so-called "anonymous telemetry" I began to actively avoid them. Like someone else mention, thank God for Librewolf, Mullvad and Brave (with Leo disabled).

I've been using Firefox for longer than i can remember. That said, I'm ready to make the leap if necessary. What's the next browser to succeed Firefox? Suggestions??
imo anything firefox-based until servo or ladybird matures
i use waterfox, i know a lot of people use librewolf
remember that switching to anything chromium (like vivaldi, brave) still gives google power. on web standards at least, mozilla still fights for us (and is arguably the only one protecting us from shit like putting tracking stabdards directly into the web spec)

Make sure you keep a list of all of these companies pushing ai bullshit. When the bubble pops, do not go back to them, do not give them anything, fuck them for being greedy idiots
I will gladly support initiatives that are anti-ai.
Well hopefully the different forms have their ducks in a row to strip all these “features” out down the road. So glad I use LibreWolf and not Firefox proper anymore
Over to Waterfox then.
I don't care if there is a way to 'disable it' (there won't be) - if it's there, it not on my PC.

Yeah this ain't it chief. Hope we can nuke the feature into oblivion, but we all know that won't be possible as Firefox enshittifies
When talking about it earlier, they mentioned the integrated AI would be local-only... Which sounds better, but I doubt is even possible (imagine all the low-end devices attempting to generate a response or analyse the website on their 6-8-year old CPUs...).

"Company does AI bullshit, fails miserably."
Countdown to the part of the headline after the comma.
