Phew. I still use Firefox as my primary.
Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again
egrets@lemmy.world 2 days agoFirefox is fundamentally fine; a lot of the recent-ish news about it has been sensationalist (and it wouldn’t be surprising to find that Google or Brave LLC were seeing it, honestly, though I’m totally speculating).
The AI stuff is just them exposing the DOM to an LLM of your choice, if you want to, to stay competitive with the other browsers. If the telemetry is an issue for you even when you’ve changed your settings, use a fork like LibreWolf.

Mozilla sucks and its management needs to be replaced, but Firefox (or a fork of it) is still the least-bad option.

This. Firefox good, Mozilla bad. You just have to either customize Firefox yourself or use a fork. I prefer customizing it myself to get updates sooner.
