    Well, fuck. I had recently moved from Firefox to this to avoid all their “AI” crap.

    Guess I’ll have to try Librewolf, then.

      Why is this a problem for you? The change is positive.

        Which change? Mozilla shoving LLM bullshit into their browser, or Waterfox infecting their users’ machines with Brave’s malware?

        Both are more than enough to blacklist those browsers and tag them as malware.

        Nothing positive about this, just further enshittification.

          Why do you think an ad blocker is malware?
