- Firefox Nightly 131 introduces vertical tabs and an improved sidebar, enhancing tab management and multitasking for users with many open tabs.
- The vertical tabs feature, similar to Microsoft Edge, keeps tabs organized on the left-hand side and can be customized via Firefox Labs settings.
- Additional features include AI chatbot integration in the sidebar and ongoing development of tab grouping and profile management tools.
That’s why I was against the AI integration for the image text-summary in the PDF. I knew Mozilla would not stop there and integrate more AI tools into the browser. As much as I love Firefox, as a user from version 1 days, this AI integration without an option to turn it off is a reason to switch… But I didn’t found an alternative yet (I’m well aware of all the browsers).
I think it can be disabled, in the screenshot from the articles there is a “AI chatbots” toggle
I used the wrong word. I meant it can’t be uninstalled (like an addon). It’s just part of the browser. If this was an optional addon for people to uninstall or replace if they want, it would be fine. It’s not the first time Mozilla did that, even outside of Firefox too.
Pretty sure LibreWolf will ship without the Ai. They normally remove invasive stuff before compiling rather than disabling it in a config later.
Until it re-enables itself like so many toggles in Firefox do after updates.
How about Mull?
It’s on my list. One of my criteria is, it has to be in the official repository for Archlinux. And Mullvad-Browser, like many of the other Firefox based browsers, are not.
Weird. I wonder why.
