Mostly done with moving from Firefox to @librewolf as my daily driver.
Screw Mozilla's "AI" bullshit.

Give me a fscking break.
This reads as if it was written for stockholders, not members of a community.
They still seem to have missed the fact they need to apologize to their long-time users for screwing them over time and again lately, and pushing AI down their throats, before anyone starts treating them seriously.
Mozilla is a "temporarily embarrassed Big Tech monopolist."

Firefox is adding a feature you'll actually want to use: Split View. It lets you see two websites side-by-side in a single tab.
It's still a WIP, but if you run Firefox 146 you can try it out.

📝 Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself?
In an interview with “The Verge”, the new Mozilla CEO, Enzor-DeMeo, IMHO hints that axing adblockers is something that, at the very least, was on the table in some form and at some point. From the article:
He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission.
It may be just me, but I read this as “I don't want to 😜 😜 but I'll kill AdBlockers in Firefox for buckerinos 😂”. This disappoints and saddens me a lot, and I hope I'm wrong. [...]

#Mozilla MoCo hires new anti-user CEO, who promptly doubles down on #Firefox as Slop Browser.
#Mozilla MoCo hires new anti-user CEO, who promptly doubles down on #Firefox as Slop Browser.
I do not want to have #Mozilla put #AI into the #firefox browser like they already do.
This article shows me that they are heading in a direction I cannot tolerate:
- https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/leadership/mozillas-next-chapter-anthony-enzor-demeo-new-ceo/
Is there a privacy respecting #browser?
"Technology isn't intrinsically good or evil. It's how it's used. Like the Death Ray." - #Mozilla, probably.
Unfortunately feels like Mozilla has completely lost grip with their remaining audience. Having "ethical AI" (literally the usual suspects build-in, but sure) is not why I'm still on #Firefox.
Considering jumping ship at this point,, but where? Sure as hell not switching to anything Chromium-based. Which leaves what? GNOME Web? LibreWolf? Suggestions welcome.

Firefox has a new mascot, who Mozilla say will act as a "companion through an internet that’s private, open and actually yours".

Just made my 29,000th answer to the #Mozilla Support Forum, 2003 of those have been made in the last 90 days. Plenty of amazing contributor Mozillians have done far more, but feeling a bit shocked right now as that was incredibly hard work.
As much as 30k is a tempting goal, I have already done more than I planned for the year. I still want to get there, but maybe slowing up a bit and catching up on a few other projects would be a good idea first.
