        To join the circlejerk? No thanks.

        Every time I come across a post with the biggest “we hate everything” energy, it is one of fuck_AI.

        Even blatant misinformation gets upvoted and shared. As long as it attacks AI.

        Same vibe as the anti-Bieber crowd back in the day.

          Did you know that Fuck_AI has been harassing users, making alts to spam and harass people?

          But they’re the good guys, telling others to kill themselves!

    Windows forcing their own propriatary software as a means to destroy competing web browsers? Is it 1997 already?

    What’s up with the AI slop image for this post?

    Also, Mozilla is destroying Firefox by themselves, they don’t need help from m$

    I don’t think Microslop really needs to sabotage Firefox. Firefox is doing a really good job of shooting their own selves in the foot.

    Not fair! Mozilla can self-sabotage without the help of Microslop, thank you very much!

    There’s a lot of people on the Mozilla hate train, and they do deserve a bit of ire for some of their more puzzling decisions. All I wanted from Firefox was a configurable browser with sane defaults, that lets me block ads and does all the normal browser things without being a total black box of corporate telemetry and profiling. To a large degree Firefox has been the best mainstream browser for people who can’t dance with the devil and use Chrome. In many aspects, it has made better decisions than Chrome.

    With that said, I didn’t want Pocket, I didn’t want AI, and I’m mildly annoyed that this sort of thing is in the default build. It feels like a windows installer asking you to install 10 additional programs, but the ticked boxes are greyed out. I just want a browser, no crypto wallets, no ai assistants, no built-in mail client, no biometric scanning.

    Firefox has been around long enough to have been both god tier and trash tier at different points. I don’t think the AI focus is going to go well for Mozilla. I’d like them to focus on browser stuff.

    Did they also force them to kill MDN, buy pocket, or funnel 99% of the foundation’s budget on everything that’s not Firefox?

    Edit: fact checked myself and the budget part is completely incorrect. The foundation just leeches on the corporation through yearly royalties.

      Thundermail seems cool at least, as an encrypted email service.

    Microsoft hasn’t done anything wrong. Windows is a proprietary software and they can do whatever they want

      “You’re on my property, I’m allowed to shoot you here.”

      While these “ethics” do exist, they’re extremely niche. So don’t pretend yours aren’t.

        Alternatives exist.
