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.

What’s this about ecosia? I’ve been using the search for the last few months but haven’t heard any controversy.

    It has moved its AI search assistant from a separate tab, and now gives frequent responses in the primary view just like Google, Brave and DuckDuckGo, but there's no visible option to disable it in either search or browser settings, aka it's now on by default. I've yet to check browser config flags but that shouldn't be necessary.
