TL;DR: Mozilla’s translation bot on Support Mozilla (that is currently overwriting user contributions is based on the closed source, copyright infringing LLM, Google Gemini. This is in spite of Mozilla claiming that they are at the forefront of open source AI, and belies their exhortations to choose to build open source AI and data sets. Although Mozilla has experience in attracting open contributions for data sets in projects like Common Voice, Mozilla is using a closed data set to overwrite open contributions. Since (paid) Gemini queries do not train the model, Mozillians can expect to correct errors every time the bot automatically updates an article.

    For me the requirements in a browser are:

    • Works without many issues
    • Has extensions (or built-in features) that do what NoScript, Ublock Origin, Dark Reader, CanvasBlocker, and Redirector do on LibreWolf
    • Relatively secure
    • Open source and free from corporate evil
    • Not annoying in any major ways

    When the required extensions get made for Falkon, I’m probably switching

    When they are in late beta or ready for use, I will try Servo-based browsers and Ladybird

    currently I use LibreWolf
