Mozilla and Firefox are back on the Nazi cesspool formerly known as Twitter.
To paraphrase a recent tweet:
Like society around it, the internet is sliding into open fascism, and we just want to grease the skids. We're just normalizing the decline like the amoral corporate enablers that we are.

Since I can switch off the AI I have returned to #Firefox









I had been using Firefox on my Android phone because, unlike mobile Chrome, it runs extensions I want, UBlock Origin and Privacy Badger. But I hate the new AI focus of Firefox. Vivaldi doesn't allow extensions either.

About 10 days ago I switched to the Waterfox browser, a Firefox fork, and love it. It effortlessly let me sign in to my FF account and transferred my bookmarks. Extensions: no problem. It's run flawlessly. Not a hint of AI.

#FireFox


Why not trying #librewolf ? It is basically #firefox without all the garbage and a few privacy-oriented tweaks.


@utzer mit dem #Firefox auf #Android hab ich nur Probleme. Das erste aufrufen einer Seite dauert mehrere Minuten, WebApps lade oft gar nicht. Ich habs aufgegeben und nutze nur noch #Vanadium.

!Friendica Support anyone know why Friendica in #Firefox for #Android with the Frio theme looks a bit broken?

Also the "New Post" button doesn't work. Any idea?

A quick Firefox tip for you! 🦊

The Task Manager helps you see which tabs, extensions, and internal processes are using the most CPU and RAM.

An organisational fork of Firefox needed.

A trusted organization.

Talk to your people.

I'd prefer seeing @mozilla enhancing their browser performance and stop adding AI features. I more and more use Chromium because #Firefox is slow on several web pages. But hell yeah, I'm sure, people will come back to Firefox because of chat bots. Who cares about bad performance? Haha 🙄

Don't get me wrong. I'm not against AI featurs in generell, as long I'm not forced to using them. But usability should be the higher priority. Firefox is still a browser, not an AI assistant...



a similar thing happens to #YunoHost instances too. Google looks at all the similar-looking login screens and thinks "landing page looks like other landing page, so it must be a phishing scam"

The worst part is that #Firefox uses this same "safe browsing" list as well

I wouldn't be surprised if it starts happening to instances of popular #Fediverse software too, although those have the advantage that their landing pages tend to be quite a bit more customised

+1 reason why you must stop using Chrome and, if possible, Chromium browsers

(Upd: link to a post in Fediverse with tech details fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/…)

(Upd 2: MS Edge seems to have this issue; #Vivaldi also has it but it can be disabled; Ungoogled Chromium doesn't have it at all)

It turns out Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on `*.google.com` access to private APIs, including your current CPU usage

You can test it out by pasting the following into your Chrome DevTools console on any Google page:

chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
"nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
{ method: "cpu.getInfo" },
(response) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
},
);

I want Firefox to succeed more than ever and I support Mozilla finding better revenue sources than search engine default sales, but I do not support a $7M salary for its CEO.

I canceled my recurring donation to Mozilla because I need that money more than Mozilla’s CEO needs that money.

If there is a direct funding option of developers working on Firefox, I will happily reallocate that money. Send me links.
