Mozilla has a new CEO. Once again iterating that the future of Firefox is AI first, AI by default:
"Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software"
"It will evolve into a modern AI browser"
"AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off."

"AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off."
Since this is the flat out opposite of Firefox now—you have to go into unsupported debug settings and click eight boxes based on folklore—and there's no acknowledgement that this comment is a complete 180 on Firefox's current policy of enabling AI in secret then trying to trick you into using it… this statement is not a reassurance to me. It feels dishonest and like a continuation of Firefox's dishonesty about AI, "PPA" etc.
