Considering that Firefox by itself doesn't block anything without extensions, that seemingly less than 10% of users use extensions and that tgere5are already quite a few snappier browsers that block ads by default...

Since a few months, I almost exclusively use the Chinese "flash" models for my needs. They are a joy and they cost pennies per answer. Great job.

The comment to which I replied wasn't that useful either.

So, is Mozilla promoting a search engine monoculture? Yeah, "Google bad, but..."

I've been using it for 20 years and switched 4 yearso ago to something else. My life is fine, thanks. EDIT: so, the downvotes are because what, exactly?

It's my primary browser since a few years. If you are talking about sponsored backgrounds, good luck finding any "major" browser that doesn't have something sponsored on it (opt-out).

Opt-in. Someone else linked Brave's blog below. Read it. https://support.brave.app/hc/en-us/articles/38305898674957-H...

There's no need to make assumptions. The source code is out there. Please, show us the relevant commits which do what you said.

Ads on Brave are opt-in (and not embedded on webpages anyway) and the "crypto nonsense" is a way for them to try to stay afloat without having to accept money from Google and the likes.

It's not in my interest. I couldn't care less about Mozilla. It's entirely their fault what is happening to them and to FF.

Here come the downvotes. People, donate your own money to Mozilla, if you're so concerned about its fate. Let me decide what to do with my own money.

Nope. Why should my money (taxes) fund a US corporation?

In some places it is something sadly absent or overlooked...

Right now we have 30 ºC at nighttime + 80% relative humidity (and no, no AC). I can assure you that coffee is the last of my problems.

This reads as a lot of fear mongering which in the end can ve resumed as "We are going to lose money".

ControlD is pretty cool.

The fact that a huge amount uf parameters may lead to worse hallucinations is something I didn't think of. Would this somewhat imply that DeepSeek V4 flash should be less prone to these issues?

You can block DoH by blacklisting their domains (which is what ControlD and NextDNS do, by the way).

Inbuilt ad blockers aren't affected by whatever change Google may do to the extension ecosystem.

Ironically, I just ordered a hardcopy of "Python Crash Course". I want to learn it for personal use and prefer to have the book at hand, rather than in PDF/electronic format. And no, I'm not letting AI or LLMs do the job

Thanks. Not a fan of Google, TBH... By the way, you're right, I'd prefer a credit-based solution. I've been reading about together.ai. Do you happen to knos how is it, by any chance?

I'm just using Evolution. Switched from Thunderbird a few weeks ago. So far, so good.
