LibreWolf is one of the best browsers for people who don’t like generative AI.
Here is the statement posted on Mastodon:
As there seems to have been recent confusion about this, just a quick “official” toot to then pin: we haven’t and won’t support “generative AI” related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it “slipped through”. As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.
My point being that people are misinformed about how much of the important work is being done by who.
The bills have to be paid.
The underlying development exists because the developers at mozilla can put food on the table.
We can’t ignore the fact that a project of Firefoxs scale cannot be held together by volunteer work and hopes and prayers.
If people cared as much as they said they did, they should be looking at how the public could buy Mozilla such that the enshitification stopped rather than pretending alternatives would be able to survive the wake of any of the giants they are downstream of sinking.
Web browsers really should have been publicly funded but we have what we have…
