    including new AI functionality

    Yeah, more bullshit! I use Firefox because it’s the only one with uBlock Origin.

    We’ll keep you updated on what’s next for extensions in Firefox

    They may be lying as usual which means I have to be proactive and find a future browser. It’s sad that I can’t trust Firefox anymore.

      It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy if even a post explicitly stating that everything uBO needs to function correctly will keep being supported, is interpreted as the exact opposite “because they may be lying”. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

      Can’t use Chrome, can’t use Firefox. The only sane choice left is Safari. Is Apple the better alternative now?

      Edit: don’t be mistaken. I’m still using Firefox and have no plans to switch.

        You definitely can still use Firefox. They haven’t added any AI nonsense beyond local translations and local image descriptions for accessibility. The article posted here is about how they’re not removing MV2 support, so uBO still works on Firefox. Since Firefox is open source, I guarantee that the moment they try to change that there’ll be a fork.

        Stick with a Gecko browser to keep the market share up.
