Firefox browser goes AI
blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/leadership/mozillas-next-chapter-anthony-enzor-demeo-new-ceo/
Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.
Another one bites the dust.

RIP the last decent browser family on the planet.
P.S. I wonder how many members of the userbase the CEO asked if they actually wanted or needed an AI browser?

Oh no!

Re: Firefox browser goes AI
Ditto, but I require some form of (A) automatic cookie delete and (B) NoScript. Until I find a browser that has plugins for those, I’ll just stick with Firefox and disabling more crap every month.

Re: Firefox browser goes AI
Another sad development this year :-( * 2. Hopefully there will be some ways to block or disabled this.
There are a couple of Firefox forks (Zen Browser, the various *wolf ones,…), hopefully those will offer the required disabling options while keeping full access to the extension community.
This about that new CEO: mamot.fr/@ploum/115730935437271047. I doubt he asked anyone near the user base. (via Michael Tsai)
A list of Firefox alternatives: alternativeto.net/category/browsers/firefox-based/. Zen Browser is quite OK.

I’m not sure as to their validity, but here are some privacy focused test results.

Nice roundup of results. Not heard of Mullvad before but it seems to have the most green ticks, so I’m just trying it. Seems okay from a cursory development perspective.

Re: Firefox browser goes AI
Mullvad has the best look-and-feel on that test-results page. My review after half an hour:
Pros:- It has a PPA available, so my Debian-based system will install and maintain it to the most recent version.
- NoScript and uBlock are both provided by default.
- No equivalent to cookie autodelete that I can see; private browsing isn’t exactly the same thing. I bet there’s some way to achieve it, though? Or maybe just install the Firefox extension?
- It failed to copy over my settings from PPA Firefox (couldn’t find it), but maybe that’s okay; not sure my Firefox settings are all that great anyway.
- Dark mode doesn’t work.
- It leaves significant weird empty space around the viewing region (a cm on my monitor) and rounds the corners of the viewing region.
tl;dr: I am pretty likely to switch to Mullvad.

Re: Firefox browser goes AI
Hi guys
In X(twitter) the firefox for webdeveloper account said this:
Something that hasn’t been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features.
We’ve been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I’m sure it’ll ship with a less murderous name, but that’s how seriously and absolutely we’re taking this.
