    A better headline would be: “After Outcry, Firefox promises to move all AI features to an opt-in browser extension”

        Well tbh it’s Firefox but without the concerning direction Mozilla is going. I don’t want or need anything else. No point for me doing it other than Mozilla pivoting to AI. I’m glad it’s an option but fuck Mozilla for ruining a good thing.

          Effectively they are the same to me feature wise. The main difference is that Waterfox lets you login to your mozilla account and has the mobile app, so I can sync my bookmarks between devices.

            Librewolf also lets you use Firefox Sync, you just have to enable it in the settings first. But yeah, I use Waterfox on mobile because Librewolf has no Android version

      More people should be aware of the forks. Folks even on fediverse seem to treat Firefox like the proprietary products the other big browsers are.

      Sure, Mozilla is going down a shitty path, but the biggest “kill switch” we have is Firefox licence and the awesome forks like Librewolf.

    Still sounds like they want to implement AI into the browser and through the power of default enable it for millions of users with the ability to then alter the kill switch deal further down the road.
