Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI 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).

Librewolf is still Firefox, but with the settings modified.

The fact that so many users go to a fork just because FF can’t get the settings right from the start should be telling! At this stage, every new version, I go through the settings to double check there is no “new feature” I don’t want enabled by default… So yes, I am tempted by Librewolf.

I use waterfox, Librefox is too strict. Your right Firefox keeps changing settings that a fork is easier now.

What’s your point? Are you saying that I should use Firefox and be paranoid about some new bullshit ‘feature’ on every update and keep wasting time trying to find something that might, or might not, have been included in a new version and waste even more time figuring out how to disable it if found, assuming they haven’t locked it to make it unable to be disabled?
I think you would do good to review your streamlines bro. That would be stupid, to use a light word, when we have options that allow us to just entirely avoid Mozilla’s bullshit.
