It seems like most every other browser is all in on AI. We have chosen a different path at @Vivaldi

If you would prefer AI not to be integrated into your browser, but still like a feature rich browser, I welcome you to try Vivaldi.

｢ TL;DR: Mozilla is killing localization on Support Mozilla, overwriting articles written by humans with machine generated translations. Although Mozilla knows that their AI doesn’t localize or adhere to style guides, Mozilla is going live with it anyway. I thank locale leaders and localizers for their tireless efforts. Locale leaders seem to be obviated by AI, and Mozilla has nothing to say about it ｣

Mozilla went into a charm offensive after getting pummeled left and right, I don't think Moz joining 14680 different NGOs will make any of us to just accept the betrayal.

I ain't giving fuck all nothing to Mozilla, go get fucked by a sentient rusty chainsaw.

So like... I'm finally catching up with everyone in wanting to leave Firefox. What other browsers are people using? Should I try out vivaldi? Librewolf? Where are we all going?

Last week I was in Paris for the Web Audio Conference to present my new prototype called MIMTEndO (as in Musical Instrument Made To End Obsolescence).

The jury honored me by awarding me the prize for best demo 😊

Thank you to the Web Audio Conference, #IRCAM and #Mozilla for encouraging this work and to everyone who was so kind and curious about this weird little green box made of waste!

💥 This new Highlight feature is ruining my muscle memory.

Why do I even bother to understand Mozilla's grand design.

Based on the answers to this StackOverflow question and this blog post, here are the 16 (!!!) AI-related settings in new versions of Firefox that you'll want to disable/set to false, and that might be turned back on with each update:

- browser.aiwindow.enabled
- browser.ml.chat.enabled
- browser.ml.chat.menu
- browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge
- browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge
- browser.ml.chat.page
- browser.ml.chat.shortcuts
- browser.ml.chat.sidebar
- browser.ml.enable
- browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled
- browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled
- browser.ml.smartAssist.enabled
- browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
- browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled
- extensions.ml.enabled
- sidebar.notification.badge.aichat 

Enter "about:config" in the browser bar and then search for each of these and disable them, turn them off, or set them to false as appropriate.

Depending on which version of Firefox you have you may not have all these configuration options.

Check your smartphone browsers too!

｢ The new Early Bird Plan is priced at $9 per month and is intended to support the platform’s early development, infrastructure, and long-term sustainability.

On top of that, the team emphasizes that Thunderbird Pro will not rely on advertising, data sales, or external influence to fund its operations. Additional pricing tiers are expected once the platform stabilizes ｣

For now

｢ All Firefox users will continue to have full access to existing public resources including documentation, the knowledge base, and community forums, and we’ll keep improving those for everyone in future. Support plans will help us better serve users who rely on Firefox for business-critical and sensitive operations ｣
