I would be happy if Firefox allowed disabling all AI with a single button
It seems that only @Vivaldi will not have AI

Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI
The saga continues! A Firefox developer has taken to social media to note there will be some sort of "kill switch" to completely remove AI features.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I don't see any problems with how Firefox implements AI yet, but the phrase ‘AI browser’ scares me
I am very disappointed with the focus on AI rather than significant improvements to the browser itself (I mean resource allocation)

Still, I don't see any problems with Mozilla's current(!!!) approach, and I'm also scared by emotional social media users

I'd prefer seeing @mozilla enhancing their browser performance and stop adding AI features. I more and more use Chromium because #Firefox is slow on several web pages. But hell yeah, I'm sure, people will come back to Firefox because of chat bots. Who cares about bad performance? Haha 🙄
Don't get me wrong. I'm not against AI featurs in generell, as long I'm not forced to using them. But usability should be the higher priority. Firefox is still a browser, not an AI assistant...
Firefox is getting a new AI-powered feature! 🤖

Mozilla Unveils Plans for New 'AI Window' Browsing Mode in Firefox, Opens Signups
Planned browsing mode will let users chat with an AI assistant while surfing the web.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS)
a similar thing happens to #YunoHost instances too. Google looks at all the similar-looking login screens and thinks "landing page looks like other landing page, so it must be a phishing scam"
The worst part is that #Firefox uses this same "safe browsing" list as well
I wouldn't be surprised if it starts happening to instances of popular #Fediverse software too, although those have the advantage that their landing pages tend to be quite a bit more customised

Back before I moved to Linux & was still on #Windows7 2019, I went out of my way to not use proprietary tools & only used open source tools & tools ported to #Windows from #Linux.
A cheap answer from me would be: #Okular & #Firefox replaced #Adobe Reader for PDFs
The thing about proprietary #Software is you have to pay for it & I was never into that🏴☠️ 🦜️
On #Android I've been replacing proprietary Apps with open source
Come 2026, Firefox won't support 32-bit on Linux.

“Is Firefox on the right path? Maybe.”
Really don't think so! #Mozilla rather cares about the #AITrend more than its users.
Ah, and also, killing good #software for the sake of this #trend. And when you think that it's little probable for it to succeed in it, when there are much bigger players on the table! 🙁

Their pay is so low, it was probably easy for FAANG to find rubes to fill their executive positions and slowly dismantle the company from the inside.
I might be hawking a conspiracy theory, but their behavior all but leads any critical thinker to the same conclusion..
While I love #Firefox (and #Thunderbird) and #Mozilla in general, their Executives are traitorous bastards that are bought and paid for by those who hate freedom and free software.
Is Firefox on the right path? Maybe. 🙃

+1 reason why you must stop using Chrome and, if possible, Chromium browsers
(Upd: link to a post in Fediverse with tech details fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/…)
(Upd 2: MS Edge seems to have this issue; #Vivaldi also has it but it can be disabled; Ungoogled Chromium doesn't have it at all)

It turns out Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on `*.google.com` access to private APIs, including your current CPU usageYou can test it out by pasting the following into your Chrome DevTools console on any Google page:
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
"nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
{ method: "cpu.getInfo" },
(response) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
},

I want Firefox to succeed more than ever and I support Mozilla finding better revenue sources than search engine default sales, but I do not support a $7M salary for its CEO.
I canceled my recurring donation to Mozilla because I need that money more than Mozilla’s CEO needs that money.
If there is a direct funding option of developers working on Firefox, I will happily reallocate that money. Send me links.
