Sure, if you like to compare corrupt, totalitarian states, have fun. Don’t forget russia.

I’m not a fan of China (government)… at all. But when I check all the technological breakthrough they are getting in these last years while the US was inflating his fucking ai-bubble. Objectively, they are getting so far ahead is not even funny. At least Europe is on a good track themself.

Firefox is not the devil, but “ideologies aside”, the basic idea is:

1. (Just like microsoft), They could have just decided to put it in one of the “many” variant of the product, name it FoxAI, let the users decide and call a day. Instead, they’ve chosen to force a very heavy component like that on the main version out of blue.

2. Switched or not. Now, you’ll have ‘way’ more bloat on a browser, who should be focused on speed and performance.

3. The whole thing about AI on free stuff is to get as much data as possible to train. You have to trust them to switch it off completely.

I’m using it on Linux Mint on an old hp laptop. So far good performance and medium/low CPU usage. Try to set the cache and history to clean after it close.

“You will own nothing and you’ll be happy”

I may limit myself from buying one as well.

Everyone has. At least they are small enough to be wary of their user base.

Firefox is been my second/third choose for years.

That’ what i mean. Using a clean derivative is better that going back to chromium.

That part of Lemmy didn’t hear of Librewolf, Floorp or Waterfox apparently. Btw, i was rightfully shitting on Firefox for this (i still do). The new ceo “ideas” wasn’t very agreeable, and i’ll totally drop the old Fox the exact second they touch the Adblocks.

👍

Keep it up, you will not regretting it. In future your focus and decision-making skills will feel like a super power compared to those guys. Is not about doing “that work” is about forging your abilities. You will have a huge advantage then.

We are more on the peasant-side here. Still you can find some of the old “wise-one” in the dedicated communities.
