Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery

  There’s a lot of negativity from certain users/communities on software/services that are mostly good but have imperfections. I rarely if ever see any recommendations for alternatives that actually make sense when this happens.

  Firefox and Proton are two very common targets. Sure, they are both not perfect, but they are both offering a solution that does not enrich the current oppressive market leader and they do a pretty solid job at it.

  Yes, flaws deserve to be criticized, but there’s such a thing as too much.

  It’s tiring.

  Just use a fork. I don’t know why I would use vanilla Firefox when there are so many great forks out there that have cool extra features.

    Forks get security patches with delay so I prefer to use vanilla Firefox and just disable the things I don’t like, it’s not much work.
