Goodbye Information

@h Oh my goddess… ju-… FUCK YOU, MOZILLA!! FUCK!! YOU!! 🖕

@h Well, I already said goodbye to Firefox. (Except the AI-free Firefox fork Zen Browser, better in every way.)

@h Here's hoping that Waterfox rips this out like it does Pocket and other Mozilla junk.

@miff its not built in, just an extension, thankfully

@zenheathen @h Does Zen do addons?

@DarkAthena Well, my UBlock Origin is working just fine... And by signing in, my old Firefox passwords and bookmarks were right there... Smooth as glass, and the interface is beautiful and customizable.

@h

@zenheathen @h I know what I’m doing tomorrow. Thank you!

@DarkAthena The sole developer of Zen is here on Mastodon, and he runs the subreddit, in case you run into trouble.

@h

@h When does Ladybird become usable?

@tehrealgh5tbusters never https://corteximplant.net/notice/ApfcIs0ZOjNHy6bx6e

@h O

@h even as an AI enthusiast, as a FireFox donor I am pissed

People give $ to FF because we want an open source free noncommercial browser AND THAT'S IT

Unix philosophy: do one thing, and do it well

@dragonsidedd it’s just an extension luckily- it is separated! but still get it being annoying for mozilla to do at all

@h I feel validated in my decision to switch to Mercury.

@h i think at one point ill main elinks

@h

it’s worth noting that this is a poorly truncated page title. it seems to be fixed in Google’s search index by now, since I could not observe the same truncation point, but still lol. here’s the full title

Firefox Browser Launches Orbit AI Assistant: Say Goodbye to Information Overload and Embrace an Efficient Browsing Experience!

@h@social.besties.house @sodiboo this title is less accurate imo

@root @h yeah, I agree.

@h "A Firefox extension to convert a lengthy text into complete and utter nonsense ..."

@sodiboo yeah that was the point of the post before it got a bajillion reblogs and all the replies were talking about mozilla adding this into the browser (they haven’t it’s an optional extension)

@h @sodiboo the fediverse has a problem with reading comprehension, simple whimsy and joy and nothing but that, and the ability to hold back the urge to shit on the main character of the week

@kopper @sodiboo the same thing happens on every other social network tbf

@h @sodiboo true

@kopper @h@besties.house @sodiboo I mean the social model kinda rewards jumping to conclusions before researching it

@kopper @h @sodiboo the fediverse isnt called the Linux of social media for no reason

@kopper @h @sodiboo either its shitting on something fedi no like or shitting on Computer Thing That Is Bad, According To My Shitty Ideology

@h how to disable

@error420 its not there by default its an extension
