Mozilla's pivot to AI first browsing raises fundamental questions about what a browser should be. Waterfox won't include them. The browser's job is to serve you, not think for you.
I saw/heard an interesting take from a YouTube the other day.
They argued that forks are killing Firefox. Everyone using a fork doesn’t get counted in firefox’s numbers, they don’t see all the Linux user or people turning off AI features because we turned telemetry off. They only see the telemetry of the windows users that use the AI features everyday.
On one hand fuck Firefox’s current direction and the forks are great. On the other hand, maybe we should all use Firefox for some casual stuff just to keep the numbers up??? Keep shopping and banking stuff to the privacy respecting browsers, but the random Wikipedia rabbit holes can happen in Firefox.
