    I have yet to hear an clear argument about why it’s time to evolve into an AI browser or how evolving into an AI browser can improve my day to day life.

    The new CEO’s overarching goal is to turn Mozilla into the “world’s most trusted software company,” citing public dissatisfaction with today’s privacy practices and the tech industry’s growing appetite for all kinds of data.

    What the fuck does this man think the industry is feeding the data to?

    I’ve been sticking with Firefox through thick and thin. All through the rise of chrome I stuck with Firefox. They sure are making it hard. Think I’m going to have to pull the plug soon.

    I’ve always defended mozilla after every dumb mistake, but I’m over it.

    They’re pretty much just cooked at this point.

    Zen, LibreWolf, and Waterfox strip Firefox clean of AI.

    Zen is a feature powerhouse like Vivaldi, without the bloat. LibreWolf is privacy focused and ships with uBlock Origin by default.


    Zen is my main browser. LibreWolf at work for stability. Waterfox works on PC and Android, but I only use it on the latter so can’t vouch for its performance on the former.

    There are even more Firefox forks, but these are the one’s I use.

      I tried to use Zen in my work computer but IT flagged it and made me uninstall it, due to privacy and security concerns. The approved browsers are edge, chrome and vanilla Firefox.

      Go figure
