It better, because I'll drop Firefox like the others.
I've exercized my choice by moving to LibreWolf.
yes a “choice” or just yet another default that I have to disable (or forget to) when creating a new fucking profile
🐈⬛ - "Lying"
There will always be someone who makes a script to delete the shit features. For example
Just use librewolf, no need to faff about with scripts and be worried about the next release or whatever.
I use LLMs on a daily basis. Mostly as a search engine replacement and, to a limited degree, for coding (e.g. comments, boilerplate). I am not against it coming to my browser in principle, but on the other hand, I can just visit Lumo, Duck AI or whatever else to have AI in my browser. So Mozilla basically has to find an answer to the question of why I need more AI in my browser.
I just use my brain instead, it's not like it's difficult.
it's insane how many people say they use it for boilerplate in code. it's boilerplate! it's called that because it's always the same!! make a snippet in your IDE. the language/framework/whatever package for your IDE probably has all the boilerplate snippets you could need already. what the fuck is going on
Okay, so if I come up with a random question about some framework, your brain will give me the answer?
Yeah, I can hallucinate plausible-sounding bullshit with the best of them.
Pretty much every company in the world is desperate to incorporate "AI" due to fear of missing out.
