Their immature screeching made me switch back to Firefox after many years.

Can you elaborate on this a bit? I've been using Librewolf for a while now and while I understand they take a sort of hardcore stance on the privacy stuff and its at times a bit annoying, I haven't had any major issues with actually using it. Though I did download Waterfox recently and have been meaning to give it a go, seems a bit more chill.

Anyway, I'm unaware of any "immature screeching" (mainly because of my own ignorance, not disputing that this hasn't happened, just looking for more information), could you expand on that?

Their stance regarding LLM code is simply not sustainable, because in the foreseeable future discerning between human written code and LLM code will become impossible. Every tool that can identify LLM code is at the same time the tool used for adversarial training.

In the end, it is not important where the code came from. What counts is that people who submit code take responsibility for their code, regardless of how it was created - because you won't be able to filter for LLM code, but you can filter for quality.

What is their stance regarding LLM code?

I tried to find it myself, but all I could find is about them removing AI features from the browser. I admit, I'm not the best at using interwebs searches these days (also most of the search engines suck ass anyway), so it might be just me not finding the correct thing.
