      As long as it’s not Chromium, I’m happy people aren’t just handing over the keys to the Internet to Google.

        Yeah, Waterfox is just another browser built on top of the Mozilla’s GECKO engine. But without all the AI dickriding.

          How terrible to offer client-side translation or webpage description for differently abled people!

                  Yes, so show me how incorrect is their translation, since you claim it to be incorrect.

                    LLM and ML generated translations generate a series of tokens individually. That’s why AI Chatbots hallucinate so often, they decide the next most likely word in a sequence is “No” when the correct answer would be “Yes” and then the rest of the prompt devolves into convincing nonsense. Machines are incapable of any sort of critical thinking to discern correct from incorrect to decide whether to use contextual responses.

      I haven’t seen anything to signal Mozilla is untrustworthy other than from that one right wing guy with a chip on his shoulder.

        The Mozilla Corporation is a for profit entity owned by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, which lets them claim to be a nonprofit, which is a sketchy looking way to set up and promote your business if nothing else. They get most of their money from Google and they’ve been riding AI like all the other unethical companies.

        I see absolutely no reason to give them a chance, either. Just use an actual open source build instead of the mainstream one.
