They’re not perfect, but having a real alternative engine matters more than people realize.
Well, I still haven’t seen any AI in my Firefox and I’m planing on using it until I will.
Hold your click for at least one second on any link and it will show a preview of the link and suggest you to use AI to describe it
I genuinely thought you said “hold your dick for at least one second”
Good I learnt something today. 😏
It doesn’t.
Installed Firefox from the Mint repos. It does.*
*Source: Me, just tried it.
Well, mine doesn’t. I’m not going to search how to enable it. I will just keep using the best browser there is and donating to Servo.
It does if you have a default install
The article does say that we should always be able to turn off the AI part.
Waterfox it is.
Long ago, the Four Fox Nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Firefox Nation attacked.
A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new developer, a script kiddy named Aang. And although his python skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he’s ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.
Given python is air what are water, ice, blood, fire, lightning, combustion, earth, metal, and energy?
Ok, let’s do this:
Air = Python Water = Javascript Ice = Typescript Fire = Java Lightning = Groovy Combustion = Kotlin Earth = C++ Metal = Rust Spirit = Assembly
Haven’t heard of this before 😮
I just got Waterfox this morning. Pretty dope
“Firefox is evolving into an agentic browser, connecting devices, cloud, and AI to unlock intelligent productivity and secure work anywhere. Join us at #MozillaIgnite to see how frontier firms are transforming with Firefox and what’s next for the platform. We can’t wait to show you!”
#MozillaIgnite
Do you think this is a cry for help?
Ugh, even the corporate false chipper voice.
That’s why I use Internet Explorer 7
LibreWolf looks good these days.
As there seems to have been recent confusion about this, just a quick “official” toot to then pin: we haven’t and won’t support “generative AI” related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it “slipped through”. As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.
Can it sync my password and history from Mozilla’s servers? I’d switch in a heartbeat.
Yep. Is basically a firefox stripped from junk. Just remember is very stick on privacy, if something is not visible or some pics don’t upload, you just have to enable the site permission from the icon in the navigation bar.
That’s excellent! I’ll have to investigate how to make work with profiles-sync-daemon on my system. Then it’s a definite conclusion! Thank you.
Yeah I’m switch off Firefox finally. I tried Floorp it does have some the same AI stuff you have to turn off. Waterfox doesn’t have it in at all. So Waterfox it is.
For future readers, yes, Floorp is a real browser
Waterfox is my favorite for sure, very lightweight too.
Discord doesn’t like it when it comes to voice-chat in the Android app, sadly (even though I know we should all leave Discord, but Revolt and Matrix can barely hold candles to the flame of its incredibly sophisticated streaming system), but yes, I’ve been on Waterfox for some time now.
You are absolutely right ✅
Floorp
I don’t think I will ever be able to pass past this name. It’s a name of something that sci-fi comedic cartoon will create for a passing joke.
I actually use floorp. It’s literally the most customizable Firefox fork. It’s the only Firefox fork that allows me to have my tab bar exactly correct the way I want it.
But yeah name’s stupid. I kind of love it though. It’s so non-serious
It’s also a good verb. “I’ll floorp it later”. “Send me the link, I’ll floorp it to myself”.
Does it support profiles? If so, I’ll give it a floorp, just to see how it floorps.I’m still not convinced that name isn’t an elaborate joke. Like I could download the browser and be typing this comment on it and still think “man, they went all-in on this prank”
Librewolf is great. Pretty much the same as Firefox without the shit.
Yeah but its a soft fork, inherently dependent on mozilla.
Mozilla is circling the drain, determined to drive away the last of its users.
What’s the migration process like?
OK, what happened?
I really hope Firefox gets forked, and ends up like OpenOffice
zipzap your wish is granted:
Theres a bazillion forks
A bazillion understaffed forks ranging from unusable because they have more tinfoil hats than developers, and unusable because the single developer doesn’t understand why remote debugging shouldn’t be enabled by default.
I tried Florp or whatever and it just kept crashing. Went back to good old FF real fast.
LibreWolf has been really solid for me
Firefox has many excellent forks already.
The issue is not the code, is all the infrastructure needed to develop something as heavy as a browser, which is what they have captive
Definitely we need a fork that’s independent of Mozilla with a real non profit organisation behind, and these days we also need a permanent non-profit clause.
New CEO promises to bring AI to Firefox
Mozilla names insider Enzor-DeMeo as CEO, looks to add AI features to Firefox
New CEO Enzor-DeMeo brings out hammer and cock with the promise smack Mozilla’s cock with a hammer and ruin everything.
The image is nearly 10 months old!
Anyone that is not using Libre Wolf or equivalent should be to take advantage of the wonderful privacy suite.
Haven’t heard of that before 😮
tbf, firefox left the room years ago.
They just can’t help themselves, eh?
The only reason I use Firefox is because it has my chaterbate password saved on it and I can’t remember it.
you can see all passwords saved in firefox.
😐 well son of a bitch!
The toot does explain nothing!!!
Why is the hammer there?
EDIT: /s people… I am totally tired today I forgot to add it…
I think you meant to type “Why is the hammer there?”, so I’ll explain that:
“Hitting your penis with a hammer” is a metaphor for doing something obviously terrible. In this case, chasing the latest fad of the month, AI.
Yeah god damn typo and I forgot the /s
I hate Firefox for adding ai…
