Personally, I use Zen, and I wonder if the VPN will be included & accessible to the FF mods like Zen, Waterfox etc
And for a full-on fork (as opposed to mod) of Firefox, there’s also Pale Moon, which forked away from Firefox years ago. (I have it as a backup.)
I used Floorp (Firefox mod) and Firedragon (formerly based on Librewolf, now on Floorp), don’t know if they are cutting out the AI cruft. They have other privacy features, mainly their choice of default settings.
I’m currently using Zen (Firefox mod), which made a statement:
We noticed a rising interest regarding the use of AI in browsers. To be clear about our position on this: Zen currently is disabling all AI features included in Firefox and will continue to do so.
Linux: Yes, Linux Mint Xfce 22.1
Codecs: Yes,
mint-meta-codecs.Everything seems fine in Zen, Falkon, FreeTube, SMPlayer, VLC etc.
But the one time I tried watching video in Firefox recently, it was jerky.
Video playback smooth in Zen but jerky in Firefox. Haven’t tried in Librewolf or Firedragon.
My TV (dumb but attached to a Roku Express) died last month and since then I’ve been watching on computer + Zen Browser + uBlock Origin, with zero ads.
And noticing that I don’t see a single TV for sale in nearby shops that is not a (usually Roku) smart TV, i.e. data surveillance capitalist tool.
He should just host his own instance and… oh, wait…
The FTC will never demand money, make threats,
Uh…
So AI is just three Netflix executives in a trench coat?
Isn’t GrokAI’s selling point that it’s an edgelord?
(Not gonna try it to see if it’s true.)
