>AI toggle>lots of security fixeshttps://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/148.0/releasenotes/
The second Brave's container tabs come out of beta, I'm ditching slow crashy DEI piece of shit that is Firefox
I wish there was a third party installer that lets you pick only the things you need like the nvidia driver has
>>108228279Works on my machine.
>Block AI enhancementsbased, firefox won
It was previously mentioned that their solution to blocking AI garbage was an entirely separate binary with AI features not even compiled in, but looking at the changelog that doesn't seem to be the case.How unfortunate, that was the ideal scenario. Who the fuck trusts some silly switch.
>>108228268>INTRODUCE PROBLEMS>MAKE SOLUTIONS FOR THEMSOFTWARE NIGGER MAKERS NEED TO STOP DOING THIS SHITSAME THING WHEN BRAVE MADE A SWITCH TO DISABLE CRYPTO NIGGERFAGGOT SHIT
>>108228342>pick only the things you needA lot of the 'features' in FF, or in other browsers should be extensions or plugins. It would make browsers so much leaner and less resource hungry
>>108228268Based. Let's hope that performance actually improved, the last patch before this made it a bit less responsive. Although with the amount of extensions and scripts I use, I can never be sure what's causing it.Now if only there were a solution to the YouTube slowness. I've tried a bunch of stuff and it did improve, but it's still not flawless. I get that it's probably Google's bullshit rather than Mozilla's, but still.
>>108228268This shit fucked up my custom CSS and everything is randomly cancer bright
Will cloudflare flag me as a terrorist again because they don't like the privacy changes?Will 4chan and other places that listen to globogomo thread metrics shadowban/straight range ban me on every post again if I go to firefox?
What's the AI toggle?There was AI shit before?
>>108228763Yes. We had to disable it in about:config previously. Thankfully, it seems to have kept past settings, I had most stuff already disabled when I opened that toggle menu.>>108228571Update: so far it seems snappier, including on YouTube. Let's hope it lasts, for some reason the performance gets worse and worse in-between patches making me feel like a schizo.
>>108228268That's pretty great. I do like the local translations feature though so I won't be disabling it.
>>108228268That's cool, but I moved to Brave when they posted the blog about needing to deplatform people.https://web.archive.org/web/20230913195956/https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/we-need-more-than-deplatforming/Mozilla even took it down and tried to hide it once they got some backlash, it's only in the archives now.
>>108228820Well, don't feel too bad, we can't all be free from the political mind virus, chudfriend.
>>108228819The menu lets you disable AI features separately. I left that one on as well. Is it the regular right click > translate feature that they've had for a while or is there more to it?
Local AI translation is good, though.
>>108228860Kys. No ai is good.
>>108228837>I left that one on as well. Is it the regular right click > translate feature that they've had for a while or is there more to it?Yeah, that's the translate feature you're talking about. It uses local NMT models designed to run on your CPU.https://github.com/mozilla/translationshttps://mozilla.github.io/translations/firefox-models/https://mozilla.github.io/translations/model-registry/
>>108228862Yeah, send everything to google instead, goy.
>local translationnice, i'm uninstalling the simple translate addon
>>108228862When the alternative is sending the data to the Google/Microsoft cloud for translation and they can see what you're translating, I'd rather take the local solution instead.
Call me a shill if you want, but this genuinely feels good to use right now. It's snappy and it loads elements instantly. The problem, in my experience, is that it never lasts. Within a week or two, it will be back to chugging and stuttering with zero changes on my end.
>>108228905This.I will still use it, tho.
>>108228862Google Translate and Bing Translate both use the same technology.
>>108228905>Call me a shill if you want, but this genuinely feels good to use right now.It feels the same to me, as in, it was always good. I have no idea how people have issues on FF regarding speed/snappiness, it's the same shit as Chromium on my PC and it's not even a high end machine.
>>108228268how come i never felt firefox browser actully getting better after so many updates
Things getting better is so last century. Get on with the times, it's all downhill from here.
>>108228932Yeah, I don't know. I'm starting to think that updates sometimes clear certain caches that I'm unaware of, because it's a common pattern. Although the previous patch made it more sluggish for once. Usually it makes the performance better, then it degrades over time.I am using many extensions and scripts on a decade old profile with many modifications done over the years, so any number of things could be causing it.
>>108228279>Bravekek
>>108228279But... Brave is literally DEI, do you not know who their CEO is?
>>108228279>Reddit manIs this supposed to make me support firefox more just to spite you?>>108228791What do you have to do? I'm always hesitant for mess with things in that.
>>108228999>do you not know who their CEO is?The founder? How can the founder be a DEI hire
>>108228905Dunno if it's ublocko, but it's pretty clear Firefox has a major memory fragmentation issue. Needs a restart after a couple of days.
>>108229070It's not the memory leak issue that's causing it, from what I can tell. I restart Firefox regularly, especially if it feels sluggish. It's more of a general performance issue that persists even after the restart. Don't get me wrong, it's not a huge issue and it's mostly felt on YouTube, but since I have that cursed website open in the background at all times, it becomes noticeable after a while. It's not video related, just the rest of the site starts to load in slower than usual, including the video player.
>>108229030>What do you have to do? I'm always hesitant for mess with things in that.It's not a big deal, the most popular about:config preferences are quite simple and isolated. Changing them won't affect anything else. And I believe this is the case for the AI stuff as well. I'm not sure they're even relevant anymore since the AI toggle menu seems to cover all of them. Copypasted from Mozilla's forums, but there might be a few more options as I don't have the exhaustive list, but you can probably find it in the /g/ archive if you search for a bit:Type about:config in the address bar > press Enter- click 'Accept the risk and continue' if that appears- search for these > change the value to falsebrowser.ml.enablebrowser.ml.chat.enabledbrowser.ml.linkPreview.enabledextensions.ml.enabledbrowser.tabs.groups.smart.enabledbrowser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled
>>108228268>lots of security fixesEvery damn time. Why don't they just make everything secure in the first place?
>>108228268You can now change shortcuts too, just do about:keyboard
>>108229320Thanks Firefox Anon
>>108229203I find deleting youtube's cookies clears up the site running sluggishly.
>>108228268>148I hate rapid versioning. It is ridiculous that every minor update gets a full number. It used to only happen with a truly major change. It took two whole years between Firefox 1 and Firefox 2.
I instinctively dislike the new menu on the android version, but it has all the same options so I suppose I'll get used to it. I turned off all the ai shit except translations.
>>108230229True. It's not limited to YouTube though, it's just most noticeable there and on similar sites.But YouTube has a hateboner for Firefox for some reason. I don't know if it's malice on Google's part, like some anons speculate, but to me it's the biggest day-to-day issue with Firefox. And I haven't had much luck with User Agent spoofing.
