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?

I switched to Librewolf a few years back now.

While you can do most of the modifications to vanilla Firefox yourself, That's effort you gonna keep up with every update.

Also the LibreWolf devs dedication to scrapping off any Ai crud just becomes more important as Mozilla pushes it harder.

Yeah, i dont want to go through that every time i open my browser on my computer, i just want it to work. Im glad Librewolf is firm on this, makes me like them even more now.

I had to setup Firefox before posting this and i had to disable a lot of settings that are scattered to multiple pages. Like those are not sane defaults. Who want to get recommended extensions while browsing? Who wants an AI model to suggest tabs & name for tab groups???

Sounds very Google-like to me... cant even open the browser just by itself and something is tracking you.
