bebatjof 🇵🇸<p>Trying out librewolf.</p><p>The last firefox update said it would keep everything where it was and that was an extremely big lie, nothing is where it was. So since I need to backup and export and import anyway, I might as well start all over for real. </p><p>First findings: it is so privacy focused that it sacrificed all user friendliness. I've turned off a bunch of settings, like logging out of everything except if you don't forget to add an exception. I hope I didn't disable too much. </p><p>Anyway, say no to AI shit. </p><p><a href="https://twoot.site/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/noAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>noAI</span></a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/BigCorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigCorp</span></a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/Librewolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Librewolf</span></a> <a href="https://twoot.site/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Firefox</span></a></p>
