So what I'm hearing is that Clinton and Jagger have unsettling friends but Trump knows no-one problematic in any way.

@soatok Waterfox has been good for me for about a year now on Linux and Android.
They recently put out an urgent update since the previous version accidentally left in some of Mozilla's crap (including some AI plumbing).
Jor âď¸đLetâs put it bluntly:
- âAIâ is crap, produces wrong or misleading answers all the time, and this cannot be fixed, by design. Thatâs in addition to all the ethical concerns (stealing peopleâs work, awful environmental impact, etc.) that should have excluded it a long time ago.
- your users massively said that they did not want it, yet you chose to forcibly impose it. The fact that you have to talk about an âAI kill switchâ says that you are well aware of the amount of people who clearly do not want this in their browser.
- the argument that it can be turned off and that people should be âfree to use itâ and other shit like that is completely flawed, because even for the (few) people who may want AI in FF, well they could just use extensions for it anyway. That is precisely what extensions are for.
- However what you chose to do is to waste a significant amount of developer time and energy into the development of a âfeatureâ that almost nobody wants, while this developer time and energy could be better used for all the features that the people that still use FF actually want.
- and as an added âbonusâ, including AI in the browser itself instead of leaving it to extension developers apparently requires more and more effort from fork maintainers to remove that crap, that should never have been included in the first place.
In short: the choice to force AI into FF while nobody wants it is unjustified on all accounts and an awful waste of development resource, and a spit in the face of your remaining users.
Waterfox browser has made a clear commitment to not include LLM nonsense generators.
I've used Waterfox for about a year - it's like Firefox, but with thoughtful feature additions, and Mozilla's anti-features removed.

Veronica ExplainsA lot of folks have asked me if I'm serious about relaunching Mozilla after their inevitable collapse.
What I can say with confidence is that if the brand assets become available, I would absolutely look into purchasing them, in the same manner Perifractic "resurrected" Commodore. I am no millionaire, so this would have to be a community-driven thing.
Imagine: everyday people like us banding together to resurrect our beloved browser. I'd absolutely do my part to spearhead that.
NinjiIncredible attention to detail on Barcelonaâs transit: When you buy a ticket from a machine, it records which language you used
So when you tap with a ticket bought in English the barrier says âhave a nice tripâ, and in Spanish it says âbuen viajeâ or âhasta prontoâ. Thereâs a Catalan version too of course
European CommissionThe United Kingdom is coming back to Erasmus+!
Negotiations for the United Kingdomâs association to Erasmus+ in 2027 have been concluded.
It will offer significant opportunities across education, training, sports, and youth, giving people the chance to connect across borders once again.
This follows the EU-UK Strategic Partnership agreed at the first ever Summit in May.
A step forward for youth, education, and cooperation, together again. đ¤
Aral BalkanâPeople want software that is fast, modern, but also honest about what it does.â

No, you muppet, people want tools that do what they need, not do crap they donât want and be honest about it.
If someone tells you theyâre a gardener, they should tend your garden, not piss in your face while telling you âIâm pissing in your face. If you donât want me to piss in your face, you can opt out. Tomorrow, Iâll come back and piss in your face again unless you opt out.â If thatâs what theyâre doing, theyâre not a gardener, theyâre someone who pisses in your face.
