Firefox 144 Release Notes

> On desktop, Firefox now includes Perplexity, an AI-powered answer engine built into the browser.

Pleasantly surprised this isn't Gemini, considering Google's involvement with Mozilla, thought I suspect that may have been a bit too heavy-handed of them, plus this version also ships with Google Lens so that would be a lot of Google product being added to their browser.

I'm glad browser flavors like Zen exist, but I do hope for a future of more modular browser design that is accessible to the user where they can pick components they want and do not want. A bit sad the most customization the average user can do is light reskinning of their browser.

Well, this is probably my final straw. I guess it's finally time to switch to waterfox. I can't remember the last time Mozilla pushed out an update to firefox with a single good feature.

I swear Mozilla must have fired all their QA staff to free up money to throw at AI slop, firefox has become easily the worst piece of software that I still use regularly.

God I miss when I actually liked software, or felt anything other than disgust or apathy towards this industry. Everything sucks now.
