AI is like human genitalia. I only like it when I'm in the mood for it, and I don't want it shoved in my face at any other time.

I can't contain my excitement for the new modern AI browser, Microzilla Firepilot (stolen from phoronix). Best of all, every AI functionality is opt-out, so you don't have to waste time turning them all on.
Google's browser will be left in the dust!!!
Now that is innovation. Good job, new Firefox CEO.
They’re not perfect, but having a real alternative engine matters more than people realize.
Then use Waterfox.
LibreWolf looks good these days.
As there seems to have been recent confusion about this, just a quick "official" toot to then pin: we haven't and won't support "generative AI" related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it "slipped through". As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.

That's why I use Internet Explorer 7
Me too
What's wrong with IE11?

Do you think this is a cry for help?
Here's a complementary can of gasoline and blowtorch. It would be a shame if something happened to spill the gasoline on me. And then light the blowtorch. A real shame.
Ugh, even the corporate false chipper voice.
Librewolf is great. Pretty much the same as Firefox without the shit.
Yeah but its a soft fork, inherently dependent on mozilla.
Mozilla is circling the drain, determined to drive away the last of its users.

Well, I still haven't seen any AI in my Firefox and I'm planing on using it until I will.

I'm still angry that an (optionally) AI browser isn't the worst idea as a headline/dev direction ... if you don't read any further than the headline that is.
I do want or eventually will need some local, foss AI to deal with all the megacorp bs AI that will be just everywhere on the internets (I can't humanly fight the increasing megacorp slop, I need/will need my own AI to help me fight and navigate it, as a freedom necessity).
Someone pls work on that, I don't want to live in an internetless cave/woods for the rest of my life (the cave/woods is what I wish for regardless, it's just a question of my need for internet access).
But no, they decided to hammer their dicks with all the megamatacorp AIs. I mean, it's prob marginally better than to forward ppl to sites or Chrome, but it's not a thing that you would want publicized as a major step/direction, it's at the very least distasteful.
It's a fucking infection is what it is.
Even HomeAssistant, which is literally meant to be the open source alternative to all the big tech megacorp enshittification, is now vibe coding their server core and most major plugins, as I found out recently.
They're also censoring discussion about it on their forums, when I tried bringing it up- everything hidden as 'off topic.'
A complete betrayal of their users, imo.
Also AI could theoretically do an even better job at ad blocking and also block other annoying shit like autoplay videos and html5 popups (fuck any web dev that uses them without a user click prompting the popup, they are like the old style popups that were a cancer on the early web, only marginally better because they don't try to bomb your browser/system like they occasionally would do back then).
Though what I'd really like to see is a DOM designed to serve the user's will rather than the webdevs'.
Yes, this is exactly what I meant, smart blocking (especially since nowdays ads are "content"), and at some point in the future when services (eg banks) will force you to go through their ultra-processed & upsalesy AI chat for everything you could just send in your own AI to deal with their bs AI trying to monetise everything.
