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

Thunderbird next?
Based upon the track record of Mozilla it's just a question of time before the programmers find a way of integrating large language model slop into the beautiful and elegant Thunderbird
Look closely; every time Mozilla is begging for money when you start up Thunderbird after 2 or 3 days of not having used it. It's annoying I haven't looked for a way to turn it off I stopped being annoyed about it after having faced it for sixteen times
This happens cross platform which means it is baked and hard coded into Thunderbird

Thunderbird is largely independent since 2012.
@matsuzine @dendrobatus_azureus @Cosmosis
They were more independent until a few years ago, but getting re-absorbed into the Mozilla family actually brought a lot of funding and made it a lot better in the past five years or so.
But they still have their own management separate from the ridiculous corporate-FOMO-chasers at Mozilla's helm.
