I just blocked all AI enhancements in Firefox 148.0.

Did you ask Mozilla for the option to "keep a chatbot in view as you browse"?

If not, who did? And why?

@Nymnympseudonymm

I've got #LibreWolf installed as a #Flatpak.

Was going to reply that, unfortunately, LibreWolf wouldn't work with my #YubiKeys …then it occurred to me:

#Flatseal > Applications > LibreWolf > Device > All devices > ON

LIbreWolf Flatpak now does #FIDO2 on #Linux!

@me yes I use LW in a Flatpak on a VM for work that accesses my work-issued yubikey

It all just works with NO TELEMETRY NO ADS NO AI

@me have you considered moving to @Vivaldi? Not AI at all

@petaqui @Vivaldi

No, I haven't.

Just checked and #Vivaldi for #Linux is available as DEB and RPM. There's a verified Snap Package as well.

I am going to give it a go…

@me thanks for checking us out! Let us know what you think :)

@me I did, because I really like the idea of working all day with a pair of eyes burrowing into my mind, sending lots of really valuable data (to them) about the amount of money in my bank account, the child's swing I just bought from Amazon, and the password I typed to open my BBC account.

I love the fact that these data end up in databases owned by the Chinese government, Russian, Israeli, and, worst of all, the Five Eyes (US and UK). Plus they get burned to CDs and sold to Nigerian princes.

So it's your fault then! /s
