      Has anyone figured out how to automate updates on macOS (ew I know, but it’s my wife’s computer)?

        I just use homebrew with quarantine disabled (otherwise homebrew will auto-update the package with quarantine enabled again, even if you installed it without).

        I don’t like macs. Just have to use one for work.

        It’s funny that people get upset about one line in a config file that’s not even selected by default.

      I use librewolf via nix home-manager to declaratively configure preferences, plugins, engines, bookmarks, and policy settings. My librewolf configuration module is my largest config file by far… At least I don’t need to reapply it by hand anymore, but I really wish Firefox didn’t suck so much.

      Here’s hoping ladybird is a success.

    So it’s just another search engine option, they probably get money for that too. No big deal for me, I don’t have to use it if I don’t want to.

    Why does AI need to be shoved into everything, honestly its not AI its just an LLM that summarizes your search, and plays as a yes man.

      It’s totally “shoved” when it’s just an additional option in the search engine sélection…

      I mean, if this helps fund Firefox and is not too intrusive then I am fine with it.

      AI has money and Mozilla needs it. Are you going to pay for Firefox development?

    Because it costs money to add shit nobody wants so we need sponsors, to add more shit nobody wants…

      It’s just a search engine choice.

      I agree with the sentiment, but this is quite possibly the least offensive idea Mozilla has had in a while.

      I prefer waterfox but i normally use them booth as they are awesome (one just with the basic addons and the other with all the addons i want but they could break websites)

    I get that Mozilla needs to keep the lights on but… yeah.

    I’ve increasingly been meaning to switch to a fork. Anyone aware of a good way to self host a bookmark (and preferably tab) sync?

    Firefox adding another search engine choice isn’t really headline news to me but cool I guess, especially if it’s another option that’s not Google?

    I’ll continue using something else, though.

      People don’t use Firefox because it doesn’t have a global tech company shoving it onto people

      I mean honeslty why use base firefox when there are much better forks of firefox. Floorp for example which I like.

      If I want straight up firefox without the AI stuff then I’ll just go use Librewolf.
