@davidrevoy oh no, poor fox
️ great work as always, though. Unfortunately also very accurate, but won't get me to move to anything Chrome based, since imho a Browser engine monopoly would be even worse.

People call LLMs "stochastic parrots" because all they really do is somewhat-randomly repeat what's in their training data in accordance with what you tell them. Definitely unfortunate in your case though.

@cybird hehe, nice PP, and no offense : it's a character from my recent weekly webcomics, check my TL to read them

@davidrevoy I have never seen a more true comic filled with such comedic sadness.

I should have told myself to try a different sona a few years ago, lol.

@j_bertolotti @lazy I totally agree, and although I often take shortcuts for the sake of efficient communication, my position on LLMs is nuanced.
What worries me the most is that 'AI browsers' have a larger scope by definition. If Firefox wants to join that group, it would also mean getting a built-in assistant that can browse the web automatically, fill in forms and purchase items on the user's behalf.
I know users will be able to turn it off, but I see it as a source of security breach.
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org @j_bertolotti@mathstodon.xyz @lazy@fedi.at Yes indeed- so why not move Yes and so 'curl' and 'ffmpeg' both need interactive prompting control! (am being sarcastic but yes the equivalent of this will happen) #agenticcurl

@FoxbrushTailwag Same here, and it makes it even more frustrating. I'm still using Firefox after a couple of months of using LibreWolf, which was educational because I could understand many of Firefox's privacy and options that LibreWolf activates by default.
-
@davidrevoy sadly accurate.
-
@Linux @davidrevoy Vivaldi is Chrome in disguise. Meanwhile, @Waterfox says NO to AI and it's not a Chrome based browser.
@Linux @salva_pl @Waterfox @davidrevoy You need more @zenbrowser in your life
-
@davidrevoy At some point, I might as well switch to Librewolf and hope the Gecko engine itself doesn't become the next Chromium.
-
@davidrevoy I changed to Brave and it's very nice..... but the default search engine still has some AI stuff, but DuckDuckGo is still there.
@coldfish @davidrevoy you may try kagi search. I find it better than brave search ans they seem to care about privacy as well.
-
@davidrevoy Firefox is shooting itself in the foot with this. Most Firefox users are users of the browser because of privacy reasons and to escape the big brother tech.
Implementing ai in the browser is repulsing idea. Nobody want that. I believe sooner than later people are going to avoid AI in the most parts.

@futureisfoss @davidrevoy @adra infinitely reusable

People who are supporting Firefox are cutting the branch
-
@davidrevoy Ha ha ha!!!
-
@davidrevoy so true !
-
@davidrevoy How so?
-
@davidrevoy I do not trust this hysteria about it. Mozilla has been making the right choices for the past 20+ years; I believe it will continue to be so.
@OndrejZizka @davidrevoy I suppose for me, I'm trying to de-google-ify my life and approach away from centralisation, while keeping honourable companies that respect user privacy and security. I've removed myself from Meta & Microsoft (more or less ― work is the problem here). Google's a bit harder because of the connections my gmail has to all lifes necessities ― bank, rent, etc. ― and it's ownership of YouTube.
As such, LibreWolf, Mulvad Browser and a couple of others appear to be good forks.
