Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices.

@nixCraft Really time to find another browser before my encryption keys get hoiked out by a web page with an <ignore-all-previous-instructions> tag.

I've already removed Firefox from my Linux desktop and phone. I've switched to LibreWolf and Vivaldi for the time being.

I've heard of Ladybird but never investigated it.

@MyWoolyMastadon @gideonstar @geospacedman @nixCraft Suppose I'll have to check how many of the alternatives are suitably new enough to have the accessibility changes Jamy worked on, and care about screen readers at all unlike TOR, and maybe new enough to allow the local translation if they don't think that's too AI for their liking. Christ. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that the forks of it strip out screen reader accessibility on Windows on purpose.
