      Because they allowed AI and ad-revenue lovers into their leadership. This was predicted like 2 years ago.

      Just use one of the forks that removes all the bloat from firefox.

          I havent used windows since version 7, but debloating makes sense when it’s fast and effective like it still was with Windows 10. With Windows 11 it’s so hard to debloat the OS that it just doesn’t make sense anymore.

          My point is as long as it’s easier to debloat, than to switch completely its valid and installing a debloated firefox is easy af.

          It’s a SLM not a LLM it has existed since a long while in its simple form it has gotten advanced now from spellchecking to understanding what the text means, it doesn’t need to crawl every day for data you train it once on a much smaller training set stuff like LanguageTool have used it for a long time, and it uses way less power it’s not the bad kind of AI.
