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.

I'm using Librewolf for everything except for what I need to be logged in. The reason is that Librewolf pretends to be in UTC timezone. This is for privacy reasons, but when I load my calendar I need to see it in my timezone. There are manuals of how to turn that off, but the changes I made following their own workaround (https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#what-are-the-most-common-downsides-of-rfp-resist-fingerprinting) never changed that behavior.

So what I do is using Epiphany for tool sites I need to login and a correct timezone, and everything else I use Librewolf.

~~Just set the timezone environmental parameter accordingly. Librewolf might pretend to be in UTC but doesn't care if the time given by your system is wrong to get the correct time again.~~

Oh, they really fixed this.Didn't notice as Librewolf is only my backup.
