Been using LibreWolf for a few months and before that just regular Firefox with the ArkenFox user.js.

Basically the exact same experience just with the peace of mind I won't end up with some weird Ai crap after an update.

Just downloaded it now with flatpak. I’m pleased that it looks and feels pretty much the same. Just more to the point. Exactly what I want.

Last I know they were still debating whether they'll remove the AI or not

Ethics is just politics with a less unpleasant name. Personally, I don't feel a browser should be political. Anything that's political forces a choice, or perhaps the lack of choice, on the user. IMO the user should always have a choice.

So for me, AI should be opt-in and disabled by default, BUT I'd like the option to enable it when I choose, whether that's through the AI or through 'librewolf.overrides.cfg' doesn't matter.

The one sane voice in that thread
