Firefox 142 has been released. https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/142.0/releasenotes/

Writing a new article has been a challenge for us since the beginning of this new AI age. You may not have heard it, but AI has absolutely destroyed content websites across all categories. People now use ChatGPT or Perplexity or Google AI Overview to get direct answers (which are stolen from content websites) directly from these search engines rather than reading a blog post. This means we are not getting visitors to our website, which removes the point of publishing a new piece of content on that website in the first place. We are literally feeding AI companies and algorithms free content, curated from our own experiences. This introduces yet another block on our way in publishing new content: Why do so, only for AI companies to come and steal our content for free and present it for their users while we get $0? Web publishing is absolutely hard at this age, and I am not sure where to go from here. Ad revenues were pennies anyways even before the AI age, and now they have gone to near zero. Other small blogs have either already disappeared, or doubled down on cheap content making with AI in order to continue playing the game.
