A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.

As far as I know, you need to uncheck 'Delete cookies and site data when LibreWolf is closed' or add the exceptions you need in 'about:preferences#privacy' to stay logged in

Yeah, it's literally one button and cookies remain.

Personally I've left that setting on, but click the one in the address bar on every site that I want to retain cookies. There aren't that many of those.

Also, turn on Firefox syncing and it's just like using regular Firefox, but without the nonsense.
