Just like Google plan with Chrome, Mozilla aren't sitting still on expanding Firefox into something resembling a web browser but with more AI.

    As long as it is open source, it doesn’t matter. Forks like Librewolf will disable it.

      It does matter a bit.

      Librewolf devs depend on firefox development. They just rip out the stupid bits. They’re not prepared to maintain a hard fork. They could still decide to do it, but it would take more community involvement.

        And a shitload of time to keep the fork relevant as web sites keep evolving.

      AI and open source don’t really go hand in hand

      if google is still the majority of the revenue, it will close it down the line.

      Is there a Librewolf for phones? Can I somehow self-host the synchronization services?

        https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid

        There is a shiton of browsers for phone but this one is often updated and the icon is cute (the most important feature)

          There is also Firefox Focus which us basically a stripped down fennec. I use it as my default browser with JS disabled.

          Is there a fennec like on desktop? I find librewolf has changed too much for what I want out of a Firefox fork. Websites just did not run the way I expected them to and I could not be arsed to fiddle with all of the different knobs to get them to work.
