Mozilla right now.

@davidrevoy but you gotta admit that bird looks cooler than the fox, maybe they should bring back the Phoenix browser branding while they're at it

@davidrevoy
Hélas...

@davidrevoy
No.

@davidrevoy qu'est ce qu'il se passe ?

What i would really, really wish from Mozilla is: Make a thing that does one thing and do it right, in this case: Being a browser.

Yes, i know you can disable the AI crap or any other nuisances, but it would be really nice if they would focus on their main product.

@OndrejZizka You mean like when they changed their TOS so they could do whatever they want with your data? (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/02/firefox-deletes-promise-to-never-sell-personal-data-asks-users-not-to-panic/)

That was when I abandoned them for Waterfox and never looked back.

@davidrevoy I lament that the fox you created is cute, gives it a juxtaposition.

But maybe it’s actually brilliant? After all, we want to save the fox, from itself.

Either way, I’m never paying for browser AI, and if that means ads/privacy invasions I’m out. Such a sad state of affairs.

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

@davidrevoy

AI slop is why I dumped firefox for DuckDuckGo.

@wizzwizz4 @coldfish @davidrevoy ironically he was also the CEO of Mozilla... for like a month

@skydotbit
Just realised that "fops" means "fox"

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.

@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 For a second I thought Avian Intelligence had escaped confinement

@Gynux @davidrevoy
does disabling via about:config no longer work?

@davidrevoy Excellent!
