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.
Hmm. I was one of those who was interested in LibreWolf for long time. Just recently I had to give it a pass for different reason (but for comfort reason as you). Good to read experiences that talk about the “issues” too. I guess LibreWolf could be used for everything that does not require logging in into a website; in example random websites and websearch and so on. But then, maintaining and using two different browsers would be super annoying (for me).
There is also Waterfox, which got some update recently, with version number 6.6.6! I will look into this and how it compares to LibreWolf.
It’s not an issue, it’s an intended feature that you can literally disable with one click in the settings
I’ve used Librewolf for my main browser more than a year now and have had no problems with any logins or staying logged in. Strange.
