Only way to disable this is to open about:config and change some value. Why this has no dismiss button?

There is couple more settings that are on by default and i hate those; but mostly those are subjective. However who wants 80px long "SIGN IN SO WE STORE YOUR BOOKMARKS, HISTORY IN OUR SERVERS" stuff on their screen?

Not sure why you wouldn't. Exactly the same functionality without any of the BS. I've been using Librewolf and Fennec for years but still do the Firefox sync to make life easier.

    Exactly the same functionality

    Not really. Builtin password manager is no more (which is a deal breaker to me) and all Ai related functionalities. While most Ai stuff is useless, I appreciate the offline translation of websites. The only Ai related functionality I use in Firefox. This one not a deal breaker, but its nice to have that I would miss it in Librewolf.

    The AI part was in the "without any of the BS" part of my sentence. If you like AI features then use what you want.

    Right, but then its no longer exactly the same functionality, because it removes a useful functionality. Even if all Ai features are BS for you, its still a useful functionality that is being removed, and therefore no longer "exactly the same functionality". Because it is done offline on your machine and the results are pretty good from my experience. I use it often (translation). And there is no extension available integrated this well into the browser, doing the job this good and stays offline.

    Pretty sure not everyone else. But besides that, does that mean I am not allowed to ask, because I did knew what you mean? So only people who know what you mean are allowed to ask what you mean?

    What exactly do you mean with this reply now? I mean removing a useful Ai feature like I described as above is removing a non BS feature. I thought LibreWolf would remove all Ai features. I'm confused, do they or don't they?? You are so cryptic right now.

    I don't know, the other person responding also mentioned it scraping off all the AI crud, so I really don't think it's cryptic and I think everyone else knew that AI was one of the main "BS" features I was talking about. I am sorry I was not extremely blatantly clear enough for you. Feel free to move on if it is causing you this must stress.
