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!

Fifteen Years of Waterfox: Alex Kontos on Independence, AI, and the Future of Browsers

TL;DR: As Mozilla moves to make Firefox an AI browser, people are looking at other options. Some people are rediscovering Waterfox, a browser that has been around for a decade from independent developer BrowserWorks. In this post, I interview the founder of Waterfox - Alex Kontos, and we discuss Waterfox’s history and look towards its future. We also talk about how Waterfox thinks about AI in the browser.
