I am sorry to tell you that nowhere is “cool”. Or at least nowhere the main online services are located.

This and also the models are growing and, assuming it will be achieved, AGI will require even more energy.

To be objectively honest, all the useful things you listed are and always have been available elsewhere in the internet.

What are you blabbering about?

Yep, but you know people like to cry when things change…

That’s factually wrong, you should probably get out of your bubble from time to time.

So you would erase a technology just because your “peers” use it for “cheating”.

Sounds like a very boomerish reasoning, are you sure you are in 12th grade?

What AI feature are you currently seeing on mobile?

That’s one of the uses of AI I look forward to, not through a closed source paid service though.

No worries, I am not reading it as preaching.

Basically what I try to do is minimizing the interaction with Google and have some sort of redundancy.

So on my phone I connect to a VPN server and use NewPipe for music. I’m fine with that considering that it is just music and lots of people could have similar activity.

On desktop I connect to another VPN server and use Piped (or Invidious) because the content I watch is mainly from my country (different than the server location although I’d still avoid it no matter the location) and I feel like I could easily be the only one doing it, so even if it is a VPN IP I prefer to not associate it at all with my activity.

Also the server I usually use is blocked by Google anyway, same goes for others that I frequently use on desktop.

In the case I REALLY need to open a YouTube video I do it only on desktop through Mullvad Browser from yet another server that isn’t blocked by Google

On top of that I don’t have a google account and I don’t use other Google services, not even Play Services on my phone.

Disclaimer: I’m not an expert of anything involved here, I just follow my instinct 🤣 so if something I do seems uselessly complicated, it probably is.

All the supposed changes are only about Firefox not Gecko and we haven’t seen anything yet, so what’s the direction they are headed in?

Just relax and see what comes instead of losing confidence before anything happens.

Yes, but it is still only an engine.

Also Mozilla hasn’t done anything wrong with Gecko that could make one question its motivation or direction.

Yes, I use a VPN for basically everything I do online, but I still don’t want Google to link the IPs I use to the content I’m interested in.

And I know NewPipe works with video, I meant I strictly use it for music (behind VPN) and nothing else for the reason above.

Definitely a good thing and definitely (possibly) an improvement.

However Gecko is open source too and, more importantly, the engine won’t make a difference on the browser, which could still have all the worst possible features while still using the Servo engine.

Not trying to be a doomer here, I look forward to Servo and its adoption in Firefox.

Install Firefox and disable telemetry, that’s pretty much what Fennec does.

Fennec is slow to update actually (because of F-Droid mainly) and also it is NOT comparable to Librewolf.

From your comment it seems you don’t truly understand what Servo is.

How is it a “hope” for you?

You mean the same Claude from Anthropic? The same Anthropic working with Palantir?

And then you are here shitting on Mozilla…

You guys are a joke!

Firefox, Firefox Focus, Fennec, IronFox.

Plenty of choice for different needs.
