Oh boy, another useless Mozilla project no one uses that eats up money that could have gone to actually making Firefox better. Then gets canceled in a year or two

We need a Mozilla equivalent to killedbygoogle.com.
What's all this egg doing on my face?
They may have killed shumway but I'll never stop shumming
Let's just start a campaign to donate funds to the core developers, on the condition they resign immediately and move to the LibreWolf project.
Get the people who really hold the reigns (the knowledge of how the code works!) and give them the power and an escape route to make user-friendly software.
what is it? a crossover episode with those Avian Intelligence webcomics?
I've never seen a company so astoundingly out of touch with the people who want to use its software
Sums up how I feel pretty well
They already said it's opt-in. I'm not happy with the AI bullshit but can we stop pretending this is like Google, Microsoft and others forcing their bullshit.
They still spend a ton of resources on something that most users actively despise. Those resources will be missing elsewhere.
It's ok buddy.
I defended mozilla for the longest time. Trying to see the underlying motive for every dumb decision, challenging others to at least acknowledge their strategy.
This latest brain fart from the new CEO is the end of that though.
It's fine to keep defending them, but it would also be fine to acknowledge that mozilla is actively alienating Firefox' loyal following.
Of course they say it's opt-in right now and then later it will be opt-out. This is the standard bullshit reasoning that companies always give. Can you stop pretending that's not what's going to happen?
It's already opt-out right now
I don't care if it's opt-in over opt-out, I don't even care if it's an entirely optional thing that I could tell Firefox I don't want when I'm installing it, I do not want AI in my browser. I want my browser to load the pages I tell it to load when I tell it to load them and that's it
What exactly does one get from defending stupid decisions of a company?
Misplaced feeling of superiority?
I remember reading this article a decade and a half ago... It still holds up I reckon

But it's not opt-in, it's in by default
Since when a kill switch means "opt-in"???
You are falling for their bullshit.

Already swapped to waterfox. Am happier for it
Ditto
Mozilla is not a Registered Nurse.
Might've taken the NCLEX. Did you do a license search?
LET ME CLICK THE ALT TEXT YOU FUCKERS
A digital painting illustration: A little Firefox mascot sits on a branch that he is cutting with a saw. He smiles at an AI cyber parrot that is bringing him a chainsaw.

Somehow my profile got deleted on my main computer on the day the AI news dropped which really made me annoyed. All I want is for them to stop moving where I want my tabs every time I fix it they break it. I want them where they were before they decided to be Chrome.
Is there any good alternative to FF that is cross device compatible and keep my sessions between said devices, but without me having to press anything more than "Install" or to type "apt-get install firefox"?
I hear a lot of these newer open source friendly browser, but switching between my pc/notebook/phone/tablet, is a requirement. I'd love to find something that fit that so I could switch.
I mean there is Waterfox, which is avaible on desktop as well as on Android. There is also the Zen browser, which is amazing for Desktop. Both theese browsers are fully FOSS and have explicitly positioned themselves against AI (Statement from Waterfox and Statement from Zen). And the great thing is, basicly all Firefox forks can easily sync interoperably and end to end encrypted thanks to Firefox Sync, so you could use Zen Browser on the desktop and sync it with Waterfox on your phone.
Wow, I didn't know they used my Mozilla account for syncing.
If that's true, then I can sync my existing data from Firefox to Waterfox
Jup, that should work
Why waterfox not on F-Droid? Preposterous! I need it and don't have play services installed.
