  true and I agree to all of that, but this ad is actually nice.

    I also think some outreach is important, especially if they can get that through memes instead of paying Facebook/Google.

    Having more people using Firefox instead of Google chrome is a good thing. If nothing else, websites will have more of an incentive to make sure websites work on non-chromium browsers.

    And hey, if a few of those new users donate to the project, they can be less reliant on Google and sponsored content

    Waterfox didn’t come out of thin air, though. It still needs Firefox to provide an updated browser code so they can do their changes. I doubt they could handle a full browser standalone on their own.

      Oh yeah. But, they rip out all the ai. I’ll stick with that until Firefox makes it impossible (which they almost certainly will).

      I’ll move on after that.

      An LLM in my browser is completely unnecessary and actively useless

  How about no AI and crap opted-in by default? Seriously, Vivaldi is great for my needs, and I haven’t had any problems using ublock origin and other ad blocking extensions with it.

    I like Vivaldi, but in my experience, LibreWolf is even better at blocking some of the worst ads.
