I’ve been using Firefox for longer than i can remember. That said, I’m ready to make the leap if necessary. What’s the next browser to succeed Firefox? Suggestions??
Super pleased with Vivaldi
Vivaldi is chromium based. The goal is to not support Google’s monopoly and stranglehold over dictating web standards.
My 1st goal is to have a good browser experience without Ai crap and have my privacy reasonably respected. Read up on Vivaldi if you question whether their goals align with these.
My second goal is to save the world, but I’m not going to use a crud AI browser like Firefox (which btw is funded by Google anyway) so I can feel superior.
You can still have a good (dare I say better) browser experience without AI crap by using a non chromium based browser.
For example you would probably really like uBlock Origin on a Gecko-based browser. uBO on a chromium based browser isn’t as powerful because of recent Manifest V2 changes.
Also, the fact that Google funds Mozilla is not as bad as actually using chromium browsers. Using chromium browsers does more damage to our internet experience than having Mozilla accept dollars from Google.
In a way, don’t you think it’s weird that Google is funding Mozilla (and by your logic basically endorsing it) and yet you’re not using it?
So, let me get this straight. You’ve been using Firefox forever, but you’re willing to switch immediately over obvious sensational clickbait?
Just looking for the next good browser, that’s all. Just the same as i was willing to ditch reddit for greener pastures, even with the snarky cunts that came along too lol
I never like to put all my eggs in one basket.
Brave is comparable to Firefox in many ways. For better or worse it’s my choice in the Chromium family for the time being.
I’ve supported Ladybird development and following them closely.
WE. DON’T. WANT. THIS.
Mozilla, for the love of god, stop cramming AI into the browser when the vast majority of your users just want a privacy-respecting browser that works.
I’ve said it before, and I’ve said it again: I will not donate any more money to the Mozilla foundation until they stop cramming AI into everything, and you should too.
They might be getting money from google that tells them what to do.
They are, but that’s only for the search engine thing. Unless Google has a seat on the board.
Get ready for the Firefox defenders to comment as the water in the kettle they are swimming in gets a few degrees warmer.
It’s still tolerably warm, and there are no other kettles that would be worth switching to right now. I use Firefox and if it ever popped an AI feature at me, I turned it off a long time ago and haven’t thought about it since.
Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.
Come on, this isn’t Reddit, at least skim the article before you start with the performative outrage.
Chrome =/= Chromium, like Android =/= AOSP folks… just to clarify.
