Threw firefox in the proverbial garbage bin, switched to ESR, 52 weeks until it gets polluted with AI shit, I can delay having to really deal with this problem for a bit, I feel like dancing

@neauoire maybe the AI bubble will have burst by then and we'll have moved on to the next Big Stupid

@neauoire I didn't imagine Tom Bombadil looking like that!

@akkartik Fending off AI shit is less Tom Bomadil and more like fucking a gorilla.

@neauoire Does ESR 128 contain the "ad measurement" feature?

(It's in "normal 128" but I've read sometimes experimental features are not included in ESR, and although there is nothing to indicate it in the UI, Mozilla claims "ad measurement" is experimental.)
