Mozilla's slowly creeping in the surveillance with adding integrated crap like Pocket and AI driven Fake Spot. I'm really glad Librewolf's made a privacy focused fork of their browser without all that nonsense.

TLDR: Mozilla wants your data and it's opt out. If you're on FF 128 it's already on and you will have to turn it off manually. Shame how they have fallen this low. The LEAST they could have done is show a pop up announcement when the user upgraded to 128.
Also: +1 to Librewolf. Mozilla is definitely going to try more scummy crap like this in the future. Definitely the better option over Firefox.
Can't wait for ladybird to come out! Finally something that speaks our language.
I think Servo is a better option, it's also being written in rust.
So long as it survives rusts complexity and lack of portability. I'm always down for more options!
rust is complex and non-portable?
i've never heard of this, do you mind explaining what you mean better?
You joking? ๐ I don't want to discourage you from giving rust a try but come on. Have you ever talked to a developer that spent any real time with rust, anyone that got as far as multi threading?
Wasn't Firefox supposed to incorporate Servo in some way or another before Quantum was developed?
I think the Quantum release was what integrated some major components of the servo project.
Looks really cool. I hope we don't have the overreliance on one rendering engine in the future. Once one or the other comes out I'll definitely try it out.
