Maintaining Konform Browser and some other bits and bobs.
- Comment on Just the Browser: tools to remove AI and other bloatware from Chrome, Edge and Firefox 1 week ago:
Grumpy ken thinks “Just use Foo” meming is promoting mindless use and I think should therefore be discouraged. Even in jest I think this affects us subconsciously to feel more comfortable with not thinking deeper for ourselves. Even if X is the right one. “Use Foo already!” is nicer~!
If I may illustrate:
Use Konform Browser already!
- Comment on Quick post about AI-free FireFox Based Browsers (Keep your Adds and avoid the Bloat) 2 weeks ago:
Konform Browser is more recent Firefox (actually Librewolf) fork which goes even further in debloating, removing “AI” functionality and disabling remote connections. It’s based on Firefox ESR (like GNUZilla IceCat).
If you have concerns about the telemetry and browser metadata privacy parts of AI integrations, I think Konform, IceCat, Waterfox and Mullvad Browser are a lot more relevant than Zen…
- Comment on YSK you can add a noAI version of DuckDuckGo to Firefox 2 weeks ago:
I wonder if there is any difference between noai.duckduckgo.com/lite and lite.duckduckgo.com/lite 🤔
To remove room for doubt of that just pushed to change default search engine of Konform Browser to noai domain.
Ty for reminding me of this!
