No to AI in #Firefox, please and thank you #Mozilla. I've been a Mozilla devoté since you were Netscape, but putting dev effort into AI in the browser instead of other more important features will make me find another option.

I can, I think, understand why Mozilla wants to centre Firefox around AI.

If it wants to appeal to an AI-using userbase, perhaps that make sense.

And perhaps that prize is sufficient to risk alienating some of their existing and future userbase, who do not want those features.

I wonder what the added complexity or cost would be for Mozilla, to have a version with AI and a version without AI. Would it be worth it for them, I wonder.

#Mozilla #Firefox

Mozilla announces more AI in Firefox, still failing to understand that at this point their market share is made of tech savvy people who do not want that.

Mozilla, please. Stop chasing the fads. Get your own values.

People use Firefox to get access to an open web, use a sturdy browser, and not to be tracked. Build in that direction and that direction only.

Nobody from your current user base will recommend Firefox with AI to their friends.

Stumbled across a cool Firefox add-on called Port Authority that blocks port scanning by websites. It also blocks LexisNexis scripts ​

By the way, there are browsers out there choosing to skip the "AI window" idea completely. https://vivaldi.com/blog/technology/vivaldi-wont-allow-a-machine-to-lie-to-you/

I must correct myself: AFAIK #firefox #renderingEngine is the only major #freeAsInFreedom one not actively controlled by a GAFAM.

Mozilla is soliciting feedback on AI in Firefox and the community is delivering.

@thibaultamartin
I agree with your post 100%.

Just a request to all readers: Contact #mozilla directly and give them feedback to stop this stuff with #firefox

Mozilla: We're going to start listening to our users!

Users: Don't put any more "AI" in Firefox.

Mozilla: Not like that.
