I think the only thing that worries me about the Steam Machine, right now, is its price and performances.
- If you're already a PC gamer (whatever the OS) and know about hardware stuff etc., if the price is too high, I don't see why you'd purchase one: you'd just buy a custom PC for lower price and better performances.
- If you're a console gamer, like you have a PS5 or Xbox Series X, I don't see why you'd purchase a Steam Machine that isn't really better that your 5 years old console and for a higher price too, when you would have to buy all your games again.

"You will have a clear way to turn AI features off. A real kill switch is coming in Q1 of 2026."
A lot of people have their eyes on them at the moment and will look at them in 2026 about this.
They have no room for more mistakes, they better have that "killswitch" to work perfectly without any flaws or ambiguity.
Because some AI features have already been implemented without that kind of clear switch and it's been like a headache to disable all of them through the about:config panel, and again check that after updates etc (not to mention that it's only for tech-savvy people, that's a problem itself).
So yeah, it's pretty easy to see how a lot of us have lose their trust, I don't blame them.
I agree with Liam on this: "but the fact that they're still pouring resources into AI is a problem". I just hope that AI bubble won't sink Mozilla entirely because of that.

It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"

I was just reading here and there comments to decide which one I should choose and then you drop another one that I never heard off. 😆
On that note thought, I was wondering the main difference between LibreWolf and Waterfox but the tmtvl's comment cleared that out for me. I'm not sure yet if I change my browser, but if I do I don't want to do it again the next year or so...
But if anyone of you have a comparison's site of all these browsers I'm still interested indeed, and I'm sure I'm not the only one!

Quoting: JarmerDude, ahah! How many browsers have you tested?! 😄Quoting: tmtvlThe LibreWolf devs, on the other hand, have already stated that they won't be able to keep development going if Mozilla implodes.yeah that's the most worrisome. I wonder about Zen in that case as well. Oh well, once Orion for linux releases, I think I'll be all-in on that on every machine I have (desktop / laptop / tablet / phone).

A bit off topic, but reading Stella reminds me of Pengling... like we lost her at the same time of the GOL's forum. :sad:
If anyone can confirm she's OK?
@Stella Is the reason, by any chance, is that they won't accept players modding their game? 2 DRM is indeed awful, first time I hear about Capcom Protector it seems.
