As soon as AI/ML crap is added to Firefox, I'll uninstall it immediately. I'm already sick of seeing "AI" built in literally everywhere.
I hope Librewolf will be able to provide binaries without this nonsense.
Another beloved thing is getting enshitificated...
depends on the implementation, article states it's based off the acquisition of fakespot which is trained to detect scams and fake reviews. if it could be expanded to detect misinformation that could be a really helpful tool depending on how its configured and information is relayed to the end user.
Well, I guess I'm just one of those people who wants a browser that's just a browser. I don't want it to chat with me, generate images, or analyze what I'm browsing, even if it's done completely local.
Preach! 🙌
I told myself I'd switch to Librewolf next time I do an OS reinstall.
I already tried it abit on Windows back in 2020 to make sure my add-ons and CSS tweaks still worked but was too lazy to fully move. I'm ready to jump ship especially if they can keep an Ai-free fork maintained.
