Mozilla CEO will Eventually Implement AI into Firefox
For anyone wondering, The Verge shared a post on Bluesky linking to an article titled Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox. Forbes has also posted an article on their website titled Mozilla Bets Trust And User-First AI Wins The New Browser Wars. Long story short, they're going to be adding AI shenanigans to their browser much to the dismay of ... well ... everyone.
I'm very much displeased with the outcome and outlook of Firefox because I've been using it for 15+ years. With that being said, I definitely think y'all should switch web browsers ASAP. I 100% recommend the following:
Floorp
LibreWolf
Waterfox
All three are forks of Firefox (meaning that they created a browser using Firefox's code and such) so if you're used to Firefox's UI then you won't have any problems using the these three. Floorp and LibreOffice haven't implement ANY forms of AI into their browsers as of yet. Waterfox, on the other hand, has EXPLICITLY STATED that they're anti-AI. So that's definitely something worth looking into.
UPDATE: I've done a strikethrough for Floorp and LibreWolf because I just found out they do, in fact, have AI shit planned later on down the road. I definitely recommend you going with Waterfox.
UPDATE #2: While Gen AI has been brought to many users' attention for LibreWolf (which can be seen in the comments section) well over a year ago, and it does look like they've since dealt with it as seen here, it's definitely safe to use LibreWolf from the looks of it!
