Well, this is forking intolerable.

#Firefox is officially #enshittified.

It turned on the horrid "sponsored shortcuts" and "sponsored stories" without me asking.

Those stories are the last dadgum thing I ever want to see. I don't want more news about USFASH.

Smeg #Mozilla. I hope Google bumps them off the money-nipple and they crash and burn.

I'm going to try #WaterFox and #LibreWolf again.

Up to now, with all LLM things that Mozilla has done, you can just turn them off. I just shrug and turn them off

How is it in this case?

Can you turn this feature off, if so where?

You do realize that because Google literally funds Mozilla, they will keep doing these bad things, opting in users without permission
Maybe you should not use anything that the Mozilla makes anymore, otherwise you will just be annoyed and disappointed Time after Time. The Mozilla team is literally choked by Google, financially choked.

Wishing for their destruction is deeply emotional

These annoyances disappointments & irritations are not good for your health, my internet friend.

IMHO you should leave all Mozilla products behind, then be in Peace again.

Sending you

@dendrobatus_azureus @rl_dane I’ve recently switched from Firefox to Vivaldi for that reason. It saddens me, as I really liked the Firefox browser, and the things that Mozilla (said they) stood for.

What codebase is the Vivaldi browser based upon?

Yes, it's the Blink (Chromium) backend with a custom proprietary UI.

@rl_dane @squalouJenkins @dendrobatus_azureus @yoasif unfortunately pretty much all modern browsers use the Blink engine from Google or Gecko engine from Mozilla - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_engine

@keydelk @rl_dane @squalouJenkins @dendrobatus_azureus Well, WebKit exists too.

WebKit is a pretty big chunk, though, thanks to iOS.
