The difference is that on Windows all unwanted features eventually become mandatory, with no way of switching them off. With Firefox, it never happens.

- Orygin 11mo agoIf you listen to the doomers in this thread, it will. They "will" remove the option from settings, hide it in about:config, then later on remove it from there! Of course none of that is true...
- nottorp 11mo agoIt's plausible because the team working on the settings screen will be reassigned to the "AI".
- Orygin 11mo agoThat's just doom saying at this point.
- johnnyanmac 11mo agoMozilla hasn't had the benefit of the doubt for quite a while here. This isn't just one small kerfuffle coming out of nowhere. They say trust takes a lifetime to build and seconds to break ". We're years into it at this point.
- fsflover 11mo ago> Mozilla hasn't had the benefit of the doubt for quite a while here In contrast to Google Chrome? This is just FUD. Ublock Origin is still working and will be working. Full customization is still there and isn't going away. All of that is unlike in Chrom(ium).
- nottorp 11mo agoThis is not a thread comparing Mozilla to Google. This is a thread where we worry about how a non google browsing alternative stays alive. Of course none of us posting here trusts Google.

How do you know? How do you know this new "AI" CEO won't let both support for Manifest V2 and extensive settings rot because "AI can do it for you" for example? Or as I said earlier, because they'll run out of money to pay for non "AI" features?
- fsflover 11mo ago> How do you know? Extrapolation. Also, because it's FLOSS and can be modified by anyone.
- account42 11mo agoIf you need to compare yourself to the literal devil then you're probably far from a saint yourself.
- fsflover 11mo agoSo what's the solution? Stay with the devil?
- Lord-Jobo 11mo agoThey already have hidden these in about:config! Right click anywhere, (ask an AI chatbot) right there. Go to settings, search AI or search Chatbot, nothing.
