"Exclusive: #OpenAI to release #webBrowser in challenge to #Google #Chrome"

Great news everybody

Instead of Google suctioning up all of your personal info, now people can eagerly rush to have all of their personal info suctioned up by an #enshittification manipulation hallucination #AI interface

Personally, I'm waiting for #Thiel's #Palantir #web #browser! Woo hoo! (/s)

"#JamieZawinski has #repeatedly said:

Now hear me out, but What If…? #browser #development was in the hands of some kind of #nonprofit #organization?

In my #humble but #correct #opinion, #Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

#Building THE #reference #implementation #WebBrowser and
Being a jugular-#snapping #attack #dog on #standards #committees.
There is no 3."
"Perhaps this is the only #viable #resolution."

"#Mozilla, for all its many #failings, has #invented a lot of #amazing #tech, from #Rust to #Servo to the #leading #budget #phone #OS. It shouldn't be trying to #capitalize on this #stuff. Maybe 3encourage it to have semi-independent #spinoffs, such as #Thunderbird, and as #KaiOS ought to be, and as #Rust could have been."
"But #JamieZawinski has the only #clear #vision and #solution we've seen yet. Perhaps he's #right, and #Mozilla #should be a #nonprofit, #working to #fund the one #independent, non-#vendor-driven, #standardscompliant #browserEngine."

Strypey

The browser I use on Android (Fennec F-Droid) just switched my default search engine back to Goggle, and what's worse, completely removed Mojeek and Brave as search options. This is an anti-feature!

It would be great if F-Droid builds of Android browsers stripped out the code that pulls dick moves like this.

Proton Mail gets Newsletter view to manage all email subscriptions in one place:
proton.me/blog/proton-mail-new
(That's really cool. Now we can tell normies that Proton Mail has this feature and Gmail doesn't lol)

Proton Pass adds 14 new entry types, option to create custom types:
alternativeto.net/news/2025/6/
(Really tempting feature, but personally I would advise against storing every piece of sensitive data in one central database in the cloud. Proton can get hacked any time, like any other company, and also the new Swiss law can force them to hand over all that personal data in plain text, so you can mess up your privacy really badly. I'm not pointing fingers at Proton, but I think this update wasn't quite a good idea, it puts too much responsibility on them.)

Firefox 140 ESR released with unload tab feature, support for adding custom search engines in Search settings, support for keeping more or fewer pinned vertical tabs in view, "Select All" option for bookmarks on Android:
9to5linux.com/firefox-140-esr-

Firefox 141 beta is available with less memory usage on Linux, ability to drag a tab to the pinned tabs tray and drag it out to unpin it, etc.:
9to5linux.com/firefox-141-prom

Mozilla discontinues DeepSpeech, an embedded/offline speech-to-text engine:

(GNOME: *drops a feature every few releases*
Mozilla: Hold my beer. *drops a service each week*)

Right now it feels like Dia is just a nice Chromium wrapper

Hopefully they can do something really interesting with it, they had a great idea with Arc, I hope we can get something really special here

I continue to keep in mind what Josh said: "40% of people are using chat in Dia" along with what @matt said: "Well that means 60% of people aren't"

I haven't had a ton of time with the browser, but I'm not finding much value here

»Firefox experimentiert mit neuer Suchmaschine:
Mit der neuen KI-Funktion möchte Mozilla seinen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern ermöglichen, dialogorientierte Antworten auf Fragen zu erhalten.«

Nutzt dies wer von euch schon und wie ist es zum nutzen? Wird dies evt auch von @librewolf übernomen und sind KI Suchmaschinen wirklich besser als bisherige? Ich bin skeptisch hatte dies aber noch nie genutzt.

"(...) #Chrome von #Google ist der mit Abstand beliebteste #Webbrowser weltweit. Seine Schnelligkeit und Benutzerfreundlichkeit haben Millionen Menschen überzeugt. Doch hinter der glänzenden Oberfläche verbirgt sich ein mächtiges Datensammel-Werkzeug. Was viele Nutzer nicht wissen: Chrome protokolliert nahezu jede Ihrer Online-Aktivitäten und sendet diese Informationen an Google. Selbst der vermeintlich sichere Inkognito-Modus bietet keinen echten Schutz. Welche Daten Google tatsächlich sammelt und welche Alternativen Ihre Privatsphäre besser schützen."
Wow, die FR hat's geschnallt: fr.de/produktempfehlung/millio
