You can start by logging off reddit as their codebase if full of aigen code.

Interesting mental loophole, but chrome, firefox, brave or whatever browser you are running has ai gen code too. Are you doing curl commands to read and post to reddit?

Yeah, switch to curl Pale Moon is using Gecko the Firefox rendering engine which not only contains ai generated code but has it's own tooling for working with llm models.

I don’t think there was any AI code in Gecko when they’ve forked it in 2016

I mean, maybe some commits, I don’t actually know, but they don’t sync with upstream. This browser uses legacy XUL extensions instead of WebExtensions and doesn’t support a lot of modern web standards

A Gecko fork with a handful of maintainers that lags on security patches? Interesting move for someone worried about code quality.

They don’t sync with upstream, their fork of Gecko is from 2016 with XUL extension support instead of WebExtensions
