Waterfox and Firefox: Navigating AI Integration and User Trust
Originally Published 24 days ago — by theregister.com
Waterfox, a Firefox fork, is taking a stand against AI integration, explicitly refusing to include large language models (LLMs) in its browser, in contrast to Mozilla's plans for a more AI-enabled Firefox ecosystem. Mozilla has responded by promising an opt-in AI feature with a kill switch, but Waterfox's stance appeals to users seeking an AI-free browsing experience. Waterfox continues to cater to users who value privacy, customization, and legacy add-ons, positioning itself as a preferred alternative amidst Mozilla's evolving AI ambitions.
