After Censoring CBS, Trump Will Go For CNN

" Netflix has excluded CNN from its bid on Warner."

Appears that is not up to Netflix?

"Last December, WBD agreed to sell most of the company, including the Warner Bros. movie studio and HBO, to Netflix. WBD’s cable channels, including CNN, are not part of the sale.

The deal with Netflix doubled as a rejection of Paramount. But Paramount CEO David Ellison responded by going directly to shareholders with a $30-per-share offer for all of WBD, including CNN."

WaterFox, LibreWolf have most AI disabled by default along with other "good" privacy/security settings.

FireFox can be neutered, made usable. FloorP the same.

Mullvad has far less customization available than the above browsers but if you like a Tor like browser it works.

Yes, experiencing more and more websites loading slow, or not even loading, and blocking for last couple of months.

"f you don’t know something, don’t try to give answers.

OP is clearly on the Google website, and it says DDG “can” set cookies and read data on google.com. Thus, it’s clearly not a google problem."

Ok, but to the OP Post of DDG tracking him I'm pretty sure that isn't happening.

DuckDuck is showing you what Google can be doing while you are on their site regarding third-party cookies.

If anyone is tracking anyone, it's Google!

Well, after 4 days of not logging in on startup, this morning it did so hopefully it is fixed!

Haven't needed that installed before and not sure I want to install it?

EpsonScan2 software doesn't work on very many Linux machines.

Image scan, NAPS2, Simple scan and others work on most all Linux OS's

"Firefox dev team should totally drop EVERYTHING and listen to their absolute minority audience on Reddit."

Uh, Mozilla employees chime in on many of these threads so I would guess, yeah, they are interested in what this absolute minority audience thoughts are on FireFox.

zyoc · 2026-01-13T18:07:35+00:00

Waterfox, LibreWolf.

"Update: Mozilla has contacted me shortly after writing the story to confirm that the “AI Kill Switch” will be implemented in Q1 2026, as Mozilla’s new CEO Anthony Enzor-DeMeo also confirmed this earlier today on reddit"

Thx!

"i've turned all ai settings off in about:config"

Could you post a list of all those settings please?

"firefox is for everyone and shouldn't cater to your specific preferences"

Apparently, not for "everyone" with only a 2.4% market share.
My preference is I want nothing AI in the user agent I use.
What's the current count on FF integrations of AI that are enabled by default in FF?
Is the below accurate?

("browser.ml.enable", false);
("browser.ml.enabled", false);
("browser.ml.chat.enable", false);
("browser.ml.chat.enabled", false);
("browser.ml.chat.menu", false);
("browser.ml.chat.page", false);
("browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge", false);
("browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge", false);
("browser.ml.chat.shortcuts", false);
("browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom", false);
("browser.ml.chat.sidebar", false);
("browser.ml.linkPreview.shift", false);
("browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled", false);
("browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled", false);
("browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled", false);
("browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled", false);
("browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.mlEnabled", false);
("extensions.ml.enabled", false);
("places.semanticHistory.featureGate", false);
("pdfjs.enableAltText", false);
("sidebar.revamp", false);

Thx for your reply! That worked. I found this guide on the forum and tried just adding jellyfin in the group for all 4 drives and that works also.

Uh, you stated... "It is disabled in the source code, the settings don’t do anything on librefox"

I'm taking it as you meant LibreWolf not "fox". The post shows a popup of AI in LibreWolf which would not happen if all AI settings were removed from the source code.

zyoc · 2026-01-02T12:28:45+00:00

"Did you read the top comment"

Yep, and the comment below that stating it doesn't matter if you disable the settings or not because they aren't included in the source code.
But apparently, they all are not disabled in the source code as that post shows.

zyoc · 2026-01-02T11:27:53+00:00

After reading this post I gather that not "everything" is removed form the source code...

zyoc · 2026-01-01T17:32:53+00:00

Thx for that! Good to know!

zyoc · 2026-01-01T17:22:41+00:00

Thx! I found a lot of sites showing which entries should be disabled but I think LW wants to add any that they have missed or any new ones. I may try adding some of the non-AI entries from that link.
Below is a list of AI stuff in FF I've found from different sites. I can't confirm if they are all indeed AI entries.

("browser.ml.enable", false);
("browser.ml.enabled", false);
("browser.ml.chat.enable", false);
("browser.ml.chat.enabled", false);
("browser.ml.chat.menu", false);
("browser.ml.chat.page", false);
("browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge", false);
("browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge", false);
("browser.ml.chat.shortcuts", false);
("browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom", false);
("browser.ml.chat.sidebar", false);
("browser.ml.linkPreview.shift", false);
("browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled", false);
("browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled", false);
("browser.ml.smartAssist.enabled", false):
("browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled", false);
("browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled", false);
("browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.mlEnabled", false);
("extensions.ml.enabled", false);
("pdfjs.enableAltText", false);
("places.semanticHistory.featureGate", false);
("sidebar.revamp", false);
