“Mozilla has been adding in llm & ai related features to Firefox for a while, enabling them by default without asking the user… The main problem with this is users are having this forced on them with no gui option to disable these features.”
Article contains instructions for disabling the LLM through about:config.
It’s the last good browser base but all the good browsers nowadays are forks of that base.
Hopefully something other than Ladybird comes to take it’s place so we aren’t so reliant on Mozilla in the future…
Ladybird doesn’t have any real financial power. If Firefox dies, so does every fork… And have a little faith in Mozilla. Just a little - not blind, just a little.
There’s the Servo browser, which has a lot more going for it than Ladybird.
Yeah that’s fair.
Why do you say other than ladybird?
The ladybird team is one of those “we don’t respect people’s identity and sexuality because we don’t do politics” type of people. Also racists.
Because we need a lot less fascists and their software in the tech space.
Nitter Link & Bigger writeup on it
Ah, it’s a shame that we can’t just have cool software. But such is the world now, it seems. I’m honestly a bit surprised at there being much of that in FOSS, I thought it was really quite commie-coded, but it seems every second project I think is interesting is somehow problematic.
I’m on Hyprland at the moment, which I’ve heard a couple things about, including in that article, but I’m looking at Niri. Are they less controversial?
