And for a full-on fork (as opposed to mod) of Firefox, there’s also Pale Moon, which forked away from Firefox years ago. (I have it as a backup.)

I used Floorp and Firedragon (formerly based on Librewolf, now on Floorp), don’t know if they are cutting out the AI cruft. They have other privacy features, mainly their choice of default settings.
I’m currently using Zen, which made a statement:
We noticed a rising interest regarding the use of AI in browsers. To be clear about our position on this: Zen currently is disabling all AI features included in Firefox and will continue to do so.

- Comment on What is the best way to link to a podcast episode on the Fediverse? 1 week ago:
I linked to a podcast using pod.link (which offers links on many podcast services) but somebody added it to NeoDB, making all episodes available there 😀
The PM Entertainment Podcast (if anyone’s into 90’s straight-to-VHS action movies)

Well, the oh-so-grassroots group behind this suit didn’t even exist until 5 weeks ago…
- Comment on Internet rights group challenges Australia under-16 social media ban 4 weeks ago:
Oh, an “internet rights group”? Hey, I like internet rights!
“Digital Freedom Project”? Hey, I like digital freedom!
Let me learn more about them!
I go to their website.
Ooh, lots of scary words, analogies & imagery about the big, bad ban: chains! locks!!!
But I still don’t know who these awesome freedom fighters actually are.
So I go to their About page.
Which informs that they are… “a group of Australians”. That’s it. Not one single name of a person, group or institution. Hundreds of words about how this ban (AND NOTHING ELSE ON THE INTERWEBS EVER) is bad, and how they are fighting the ban, and how you can even help pay them to fight the ban. But just four words about them: “a group of Australians”.
Not even stock photos or AI slop images, not even autogenerated-looking generic names expressing support for the righteous cause. Not even one name to contact. Nothing.
There is an ABN (Australian Business Number) in a tiny font at the bottom of their. Looking it up, I get this:
https://abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View?id=27500105086Still no names. No directors, no staff, no contributors. Not eligible for tax-deductible gifts. And active since 20 October 2025. 5 weeks old.

But I don’t think tankies would mind being called “Moist”.
Oh, sorry, I thought you meant “Maoist”.

Linux: Yes, Linux Mint Xfce 22.1
Codecs: Yes,
mint-meta-codecs.Everything seems fine in Zen, Falkon, FreeTube, SMPlayer, VLC etc.
But the one time I tried watching video in Firefox recently, it was jerky.
- Comment on Roku wants you to see a lot more AI-generated ads 3 months ago:
Video playback smooth in Zen but jerky in Firefox. Haven't tried in Librewolf or Firedragon.
- Comment on Roku wants you to see a lot more AI-generated ads 3 months ago:
My TV (dumb but attached to a Roku Express) died last month and since then I've been watching on computer + Zen Browser + uBlock Origin, with zero ads.
And noticing that I don't see a single TV for sale in nearby shops that is not a (usually Roku) smart TV, i.e. data surveillance capitalist tool.

- Comment on Was there a Cold War conflict where the Soviets funded the right-wingers and the Americans funded the communists? 4 months ago:
The closest I can think of: I think there was a crazy time when the People's Republic of China and, to a lesser extent, the US were together(!) backing "Democratic Kampuchea" (i.e. the Khmer frickin' Rouge) against the invading (USSR-allied) Socialist Republic of Vietnam and its proxy, the People's Republic of Kampuchea.
So, the US, softly, backing a bunch of far-left lunatics against a less-far-left bunch backed indirectly by the Soviets.
From Wikipedia
The Cambodian–Vietnamese War was an armed conflict between the Khmer Rouge-led Democratic Kampuchea and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It began in December 1978, with a Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia which toppled the Khmer Rouge and ended in 1989 with the withdrawal of Vietnamese forces from Cambodia. This Cold War conflict was part of the Third Indochina War and Sino-Soviet split with the Soviet Union supporting Vietnam and China supporting the Khmer Rouge.
