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








Mozilla is adding a toggle to disable all generative "AI" features in Firefox. It shows that organized pushback is actually making a difference.

One battle won. Now let's make it crystal clear. We want tools, not forced LLMs. Keep the pressure on until "AI" is no longer an option.

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

Wow that is a hard one to answer as I don't use any #Proprietary tools
Back before I moved to Linux & was still on #Windows7 2019, I went out of my way to not use proprietary tools & only used open source tools & tools ported to #Windows from #Linux.
A cheap answer from me would be: #Okular & #Firefox replaced #Adobe Reader for PDFs
The thing about proprietary #Software is you have to pay for it & I was never into that🏴‍☠️ 🦜️
On #Android I've been replacing proprietary Apps with open source




Their pay is so low, it was probably easy for FAANG to find rubes to fill their executive positions and slowly dismantle the company from the inside.

I might be hawking a conspiracy theory, but their behavior all but leads any critical thinker to the same conclusion..

While I love #Firefox (and #Thunderbird) and #Mozilla in general, their Executives are traitorous bastards that are bought and paid for by those who hate freedom and free software.
