All we wanted was a browser. All you had to do was build a browser. You had one job.

Chromium which Vivaldi is based off of, has its own challenges.
Something tells me LLM generated code is making its way into Vivaldi.

Lynx is alright.
This codeberg repository contains a list of Free/OSS software that contains signs of slop with added alternatives.
@milagemayvary @AlexBlock That's something they need to address. Chromium being upstream, they can't block all of it. And honestly, AI is AT WAR with the Open Web.
I use Vivaldi for their choice of no LLMs running in the browser. But that is not an endorsement out of me. https://vivaldi.com/blog/keep-exploring/
Again, my hopes lie with Servo.
"Stack Overflow's corpus genuinely did nourish the LLMs. The question is whether the next generation builds something sustainable or just moves on to the next host.
Jokes aside..."
Peter Wilson of Mozilla everybody, he is a laugh a minute... ๐ฎโ๐จ
@davidhanzlik @a2_4am I know. He lays out one of the main reasons people hate LLMs, and calls it "poetry" and a "joke". What was he think....
...ohhhhhh. He got an LLM to write this, didn't he?
@a2_4am Things I never thought I'd say a couple of years ago.
#FuckMozilla, goodbye Firefox, and viva Vivaldi. (And Waterfox until Servo is mature enough for daily use.)
@milagemayvary Thanks for that.
Replied in that thread, in short: praise for no LLM bundled, AI slop code is a fight, and my hope is Servo keeps the fight alive that Firefox started.
@a2_4am Mozilla has always been the cancer killing FireFox. Even the Debian Project had a big trademark problem with them.
For people looking for alternatives, WaterFox is the most promising one.
@libresoftwarelover @a2_4am Has WaterFox improved its track record on patching security issues?
Also, do you know of a particular reason to choose WaterFox over LibreWolf, or vice versa?
