Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Yeah, it's "only" a click and it's "only" one thing (that still sits on your computer, unwanted and unneeded and a waste of Mozilla's development and upkeep resources).
Only AI tab groups and an AI sidebar...
...and an AI search engine...
...and ads disguised as news...
...and ads disguised as frequently visited sites...
...and sponsored weather...
...and ads in the URL bar...
...and "privacy preserving advertisement data collection"...
...and a freaking built-in VPN a la Opera.
Tell me, when will you allow us to start calling it bloat?
I don't have any of that, but ok
What do you use instead of Firefox then?
Librewolf on PC IronFox on mobile.
I just use Firefox, friend. Just Firefox.
Then you had to "only" fix every single one of those things across every profile and computer you've used it on.
So at what point does that become more than "hardly" bloat to you? Or do you consider Edge and Brave to be in the same category of hardly bloated?
Firefox is literally a click and the ai is gone. Get over it.
You already said that, it's not just "one click," it certainly doesn't address the rest of the bloat, and it's irrelevant to the question I'm going to ask you a third time.
Tell me, when will you allow us to start calling all these unnecessary features bloat?
Do you have a limit or no?
You're using a different version of something, man. Idk. But enjoy.
Do you understand English? I asked you a question three times and you aren't responding to it.
Do you? I obviously do not care what you're asking me. I've already answered.
Have a lovely day :)
If you feel like being disingenuous in the future, save other people some time by saying so. Maybe you can lead with "I don't care how much Mozilla bloats Firefox, but...*
