Screenshot of the final blank text input box from a Mozilla survey/feedback form. The prompt above the box is "What do you want to see from Mozilla in the future?" My answer: The single most important thing I would like from Mozilla is... I want my relationship with the maker of my web-browser to be non- adversarial. It's been a while since that was true. I don't want them shipping on-by-default "AI" bullshit with the excuse that we'll be able to turn it off. I don't want them creating bullshit polls that only take positive feedback about whatever management has already decided they want to do. I don't want them sending Annoying Reply Guy to the Fediverse to argue in bad faith about what a poll means, what the results mean, or what "no Al in Firefox" means, deliberately conflating the "AI" that no-one wants with long-extant features like translation that people want to keep. I don't want them behaving like a for-profit company, chasing bullshit trends, spouting marketing jibberish, utterly failing the users, misunderstanding the community, and treating the users as a waste byproduct of their very important chase of vulture capital. I want them to value the users, respect the users, heck, even cherish the users.
