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.

Yeah it's getting to the point where there's really just no point trying to protect your privacy any further on Mac or Windows. There's simply no point bothering with a privacy-respecting browser when the OS itself is increasingly spying on you. Either choose a free OS or live with the consequences, unfortunately. Those who aren't ready to make the switch are going to have to start becoming ready, or resign themselves to their fate until they are.
