LibreWolf is one of the best browsers for people who don't like generative AI.

Here is the statement posted on Mastodon:

As there seems to have been recent confusion about this, just a quick "official" toot to then pin: we haven't and won't support "generative AI" related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it "slipped through". As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.

I switched to LibreWolf about six months ago -ish. I'm very happy with the browser. Happy to hear they won't be incorporating the AI BS.

Same - around when all the terms and conditions drama was happening with Firefox.

For me that was the breaking point. I want to use software I can trust to be on my side - software that I can update to the latest version without worrying about what awful anti-feature they might have slipped in, which I then have to go try and disable.

Firefox demonstrated they aren't that, but Librewolf gives you it. A clean browser with privacy-respecting defaults, no ads, no sponsored content, no studies, and uBlock installed out the box.

Very happy.
