@davidrevoy at first I thought that was Thunderbird who cut herself loose and was flying away. One can dream...

AI slop is why I dumped firefox for DuckDuckGo.

@coldfish @davidrevoy Unfortunately, Brave's worse than Mozilla. (The CEO's a homophobe, the company's heavily into cryptoscams, and it just gets worse from there.)
@wizzwizz4 @coldfish @davidrevoy ironically he was also the CEO of Mozilla... for like a month

Just realised that "fops" means "fox"
@davidrevoy -
@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.
A couple of years before, Google was saying things like "Don't be Evil" while promoting a good internet for the users. Today Google is one of the biggest evil tech empire of the world.
I understand the idea of believing in something based on the experience, but everything can change and it's not bad to be aware of some things like the decisions Mozilla is doing these days.

@davidrevoy I'm really not happy with the situation either...

Maybe a workaround would be looking at the code and find every single url/ip that FF is supposed to call and block them in a firewall... but that's both not very casual user friendly and time consuming because if it's efficient they would just have to regularly change subdomains or whatever to make things hard. -
@davidrevoy posting this here, just because there's still hope: https://mastodon.social/@firefoxwebdevs/115740501470592801
@ocramius @davidrevoy id have hope if this existed from the beginning of their big AI push. the fact that things have already gotten this bad makes me very hesitant to trust Firefox going forward

@davidrevoy It would be funny it it wasnt so sad

@davidrevoy Scathing but no less true
Chasing the money and leaving its userbase behind

@davidrevoy qu'est ce qu'il se passe ?
@DessiniFab
Le nouveau pdg de Mozilla a annoncé sa feuille de route pour l'entreprise qui est de se focaliser sur l'ia. -

@neilk @davidrevoy If that happens it would probably become a little blue whale...
