not everyone is thrilled with Windows 11 being turned into an AI-agentic operating system
This is a huge pain in the rear for me. My work machine is a Windows 11 machine, and I have little control over most of.
Copilot (MS's AI) wants to insert itself into everything and it's hard to turn off. It's like Clippy. I mostly have figured out how to get it out of my way, but it still tries to get me to turn it back on periodically. It is hugely annoying.
Also, in MS Word, I feel like MS's grammar checker comes up with incorrect suggestions more than it used to. I ignore them, but I notice the inaccuracy more. I type fast and sloppy, so in the past the grammar checker + spell check were pretty helpful but much less so now.

I noticed the incorrect grammar suggestions when I was using Chrome. It was very annoying.

Thanks for sharing your Linux experience!

Firefox is no different, but the adblock extension works well with it, and that (besides security) is my highest priority.
I was using Firefox but switched to Brave several years ago. I think it's better in a bunch of ways, including being faster than Firefox.
@wtg A question regarding Brave. I'm giving it a spin. It's fast. However, visited links are not greyed out as they should be. Example: coming to this site, all the topics are the same color--nothing I've already read is greyed out, so it's hard to know if there are new posts anywhere.
Is this the same for you? Did you have to do something to fix it?

Interesting. I never noticed if there is anything greyed out. I look at the Unread icon in the upper left area, and if there's a number there I just click on it and it brings up the list of things that I haven't read. That's my driver to read new stuff.
I logged in as my admin persona in Firefox and am trying a few things out.
I wonder if some of these features operate differently depending on the skin you use. Which skin are you using? I do see that at least one skin (the one I picked for my admin account so I know if I have superpowers on) seems to change the color of the thread title after I look at the thread. On my regular account I use
FlatlyVapor, which is a dark skin. -
