I know Mozilla is enshittificating Firefox step by step but keep in mind that Brave is not a solution.

J'ai mon FF en dark mode par défaut, et j'ai parfois certains sites qui basculent donc en DM mais qui ne sont pas lisibles tels quels, je n'ai pas trouvé d'option pour forcer le passage en LM du site. Vous savez si ça existe ?
Au cas où cela peut servir :
L'extension #DarkReader fait bien le travail en général.
Elle permet de gérer site par site.
Note : certains sites sont protégés et n'acceptent pas la modification, à commencer par le site des extensions de Mozilla Firefox.
Et bien sûr, comme pour tous les autres produits #FLOSS, un don libre est possible / recommandé pour ceux·celles qui peuvent.

#Firefox is worse than Chrome or Safari :(
Librewolf is slightly better. Vivaldi is lower than Chrome, Firefox and Librewolf.
Winners with zero connections are: Ungoogled Chromium, Kagi Orion, Tor Browser and Pale Moon.

TFW #Firefox tells you it has an update and now you don't want to close any windows because when it restarts you're going to have to search the settings to turn off more AI bullshit.

Managed to set up my #OpenBSD workstation with a #Logitech USB #webcam and separate audio input / output on onboard snd/0 and usb snd/1. Had to create a little wrapper script to start #Firefox with the necessary env variables to keep things separated, but it worked nicely. How? All because OpenBSD is really well documented! #RunBSD #UNIX #BSD

Tor browser's latest build cuts Mozilla's AI features in the name of privacy
While everyone else races to bake AI into the browser, Tor is ripping it out on purpose

Oh my fucking god. I just right clicked a link to an article to open it in a new tab in Firefox and saw an option to "Ask an AI Chatbot (Z)." Fucking EW. There was thankfully an option to remove it from my context menu, but oh my fucking god, AI bros are so fucking desperate to adopt this tech en masse, I swear to god.
Let the fucking bubble burst, nobody fucking likes generative-AI and making it goddamn inescapable is not going to make us like it. Let it go the way of NFTs and the metaverse like it goddamn deserves. If generative-AI was genuinely that fucking good, people would naturally adopt it like we did with computers. Companies did not have to work this hard to get people to adopt computers because their purpose and value was obvious.
And @mozilla, @firefox please for the love of god, stop adding AI features. I get you're partially funded by Google, but grow a goddamn spine and listen to your users. People do not like these features and expect better from you. Firefox is supposed to be about privacy and generative-AI is NOT good for privacy (do I even need to mention Windows Recall?) You wanna be the alternative to Google so bad, yet you do the same scummy, disliked sh!t everyone hates Google for.
