Firefox’s AI Kill Switch is a Trap: How Mozilla Made AI Your Problem

Die Penguin Padlock Party ist ein regelmäßig stattfindender Stammtisch jeden dritten Donnerstag im Monat ab 19:00 Uhr auf der c‑base . Sie richtet sich an alle, die sich für freie Software, Datenschutz und digitale Sicherheit interessieren.
Im Mittelpunkt steht die Unterstützung beim Wechsel von Windows auf Linux‑Distributionen – aber die Veranstaltung ist keine reine Linux‑Sprechstunde. Vielmehr bietet sie eine Plattform, um Erfahrungen auszutauschen, voneinander zu lernen und gemeinsam Lösungen zu finden.
Ein wesentlicher Teil der Penguin Padlock Party ist die Cryptoparty‑Komponente: Besucher*innen erfahren, wie sie sich mit geeigneten Tools und Strategien vor digitaler Überwachung schützen können. Dabei werden nicht nur freie und offene Technologien vorgestellt, sondern auch kommerzielle Lösungen, sofern sie zum Schutz der Privatsphäre beitragen.
Die Penguin Padlock Party verbindet technische Hilfe, Wissensaustausch und Bewusstseinsbildung zu Themen wie Datenschutz, Datensicherheit und Datensparsamkeit – in einer offenen und kollegialen Atmosphäre.
Es sind keine Vorkenntnisse notwendig.
You may have heard that #mozilla introduced an #AI kill switch into #Firefox.
If you would rather use a browser that is less interested in #LLM technologies, @Waterfox has been your companion for over a decade.
I had a chance to ask the founder and developer some questions about Waterfox's history, operations, and their take on AI.
Enjoy and and share!

#BraveBrowser is installing VPNs without users' consent, even if you didn't willingly enable their #VPN service. Just stop using #Brave, it's garbage.
Edit: the services are disabled by default, but they were still installed with very little to no transparency about them towards the user, alongside all the other stuff that's often unwanted from Brave users (Pocket on Firefox is to blame too, lol.)

1. Shitty crypto scam embedded into it (BAT)
2. Whitelists privacy breaking scripts (https://brave.com/script-blocking-exceptions-update/)
3. Embedded "Brave Today" in new tabs which can't really be completely disabled and makes a shit ton of requests, including tracking ones
