@privateger
@privateger I have supported Firefox since it was called Phoenix. I berated my bank 20 years ago for having a website that did not work properly on it. I moved countless people to Firefox over the years, argued for it in conference talks, articles and blogposts.
I am done. Moving to LibreWolf as soon as I have a moment. And then hoping Verso becomes a thing sooner rather than later:

Mozilla does not deserve my support, has not deserved my support for years.

The kids hate so-called "AI". They make fun of it. "That's AI" means "that's BS."
It's all such a waste. So much potential from Mozilla, squandered year after year.
They could have been the heroes.
@vkc Thankfully #Librewolf keeps removing the things we don't want from #Mozilla in their #Firefox fork.
Two different issues yesterday with websites not working correctly (in one case, completely broken) in Librewolf. And it's not a Librewolf issue, it's a Firefox issue as I tested both sites in that browser as well. Changing user agents didn't help either, it's obviously a deeper issue than that. I had to install Chromium (yuck) to get both sites to work. This, combined with the increasingly broken Firefox/Mozilla Sync, is making me begrudgingly look into switching to a Chromium based browser.
I'm NOT going to use Google's account sync for so many obvious reasons, so there's no need to have Google's API available. That opens me up to a bunch of truly FOSS Chromium based options so I'm going to spend some time looking into them. I have to have *BSD compatibility as I spend most of my time in FreeBSD and OpenBSD these days (I'm posting this from a FreeBSD workstation).
With all of that said, any suggestions or advice? And no, I will never use Brave; even if it wasn't a crypto and AI scam disguised as a browser, its founder is a gross misogynist and Christian nationalist. No thank you.

@liaizon librewolf?
@hexaheximal @liaizon I wish #LibreWolf had worked for me but for whatever reason I had a lot of connectivity problems with it. #WaterFox has been great although I haven't looked into its culture *holds onto hope, braces for impact* 😬😂
Anyways, I reckon the least fash browser is a grapefruit.
Great! A #librewolf update nuked all my history 🤬
Time to find alternatives?
I'm not logged into Google and the default recommendations on YouTube after watching a couple of bland music videos are all neo-nazi shit
@cwebber ising #librewolf which keeps me logged out by default has shown me more of this in other places too
Viewing the PDF version of an html file (sans images) in #Zathura, my favorite keyboard-friendly #PDF reader: 157.5 MiB RAM used
Viewing the same original html file (with images) in #dillo: 40.0 MiB RAM used

I can't believe it myself, but yes, I've made #Dillo my default browser on my personal laptops. It's never been my default, even though I've used it occasionally, off-and-on, for 25 years. XD
I still fire up #LibreWolf ( #firefox fork) occasionally on those machines, but #DilloBrowser fits in this neat space between terminal browsers and "full-fat" browsers like Librewolf and #luakit.
I'm just wishing it had a "follow mode" for following links from the keyboard, and wondering if there was some way to make it use the clipboard by default, instead of primary selection. I don't quite understand why classic X11 programs use primary selection so much. XD

I just hope my user.js file still holds up with each new Mozilla AI feature .
This must be how Windows 11 users feel like.
@jbz I sure hope this can bring #librewolf to new and sustainable heights, while removing/disabling these pointless new features.
Had Vivaldi been built on a competing open source browser engine than Chromium, I might have gone that way already. We need more sustainable browser engines than just Chrome/Chromium, especially now with the direction Mozilla is taking Firefox. And Chrome/Chromium deserves a solid competition to avoid crashing into the IE browser mess 20+ years ago.
So for now, I hope Librewolf can fill the gap, at least in the short-/midterms perspective.

The Mozilla Firefox configuration settings are utterly polluted with AI crap, with no simple way to turn them all off easily. However, there are three that seem to kill most of the AI activity at the UI level, but what's going on in the background I of course can't see. By the way, Firefox is also hiding http: and https:, a terrible decision that Google tried and reversed years ago. You can disable this in Firefox about:config as well. To cripple Firefox AI:
Go to URL about:config
Set these to "false":
browser.ml.chat.enabled
extensions.ml.enabled
These stop Firefox from attempting to create link preview "key points" AI garbage from reading your page. Also:
Setting to false:
browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled
Will turn off the annoying link preview behavior entirely.
I will note that this behavior by Mozilla is actually far more invasive than what Chrome currently does.
Hey Mozilla: Take your damned AI and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

And #LibreWolf?
I had it recommended but it regularly crashes, especially with Private Windows open.
