Introducing AI, the Firefox way: A look at what we're working on and how you can help shape it | The Mozilla Blog (blog.mozilla.org)

We recently shared how we are approaching AI in Firefox — with user choice and openness as our guiding principles. That’s because we believe AI should be built like the internet — open, accessible, and driven by choice — so that users and the developers helping to build it can use it as they wish, help shape it and truly benefit from it.

I'm already seeing sites telling how to block FF's AI baby steps ... which I discovered were already present in the FF I use. https://equk.co.uk/2025/10/28/firefox-forcing-llm-features/

Who knows how badly they'll mess themselves up by not being -completely tranparent- about this stuff and -not- making it really easy to disable. It's still possible to download older versions of FF to fall back on ... in case they lose their minds.

In Librewolf there is no AI ^^

At least not out-of-the-box. Dunno if you can dig it up via about:config. Not via normal Settings I think.

I wish there was a fork of librewolf almost exactly the same, but focused on website compatibility > privacy.

Basically librewolf but preconfigured for ease of use as much as possible.

That way I could have both installed on my system side by side.

Do you have issues with website compatibility when using Librewolf? There were a few features I thought were too aggressive and turned off when I first started using it (in the "librewolf" section of the settings), and since then I haven't had a single issue with any websites. If it didn't have a different logo and name I might forget I was using it.

Yes I also had to turn off some features, mostly the resist fingerprinting ones. It is mostly on the same elevel as Firefox now for compatibility.
