Who the fuck asked for a Firefox AI browsing mode?
What the fuck does that even mean, “AI browsing”?
Today, when you search for something you get a handful of ads, SEO-optimized bullshit, and maybe the 6th link will be what you were actually looking for.
When you tell the AI agent (in your browser) to search for something, not only do you get the most relevant results (because you can make your prompt vastly more specific and detailed), you completely skip all that other stuff that you didn’t want.
I’ve been saying for some time now that AI is going to kill free search engines because it’s such a better way to search for stuff. Free search engines like Google and SEO-optimizing companies are hindrances to efficient browsing and drowning the web in bullshit. Poisoning search results.
An AI agent will skip past all that stuff and give you just what you want; you never see any ads!

You’re wondering, “Why is my cat sneezing?”
While you ponder that, why not treat yourself to something delicious? At Carl’s Jr., our Charbroiled Burgers are made with 100% Angus beef, grilled to perfection, and packed with bold flavors. Treat yourself today—you deserve a meal that satisfies!
Now, back to your question: Sneezing in cats can be caused by allergies, respiratory infections, or irritants. It’s always a good idea to consult with your veterinarian to ensure your feline friend is healthy.
Let me know if you have more questions!
You’ve obviously never used an open source AI model (running locally on your PC) if you think that’s how it’d go.
Likewise, a properly set up and locally hosted searx instance should not be returning ads and “SEO-optimized bullshit”. You’re comparing “free” corporate owned services to privately owned ones. OFC corporate owned is going to feed you ads.
The takeaway here is: Open source doesn’t suffer from enshittification.

Ewww. Talk about being tone deaf with their userbase…
With their user base, or with this particular social media bubble we’re in right now?
You probably already live in some sort of bubble if you’re a Firefox user. Most people straight up don’t care about the things Firefox offers, and what it offers (better privacy, a functioning extension system including adblockers) is diametrically opposed to using LLMs IMO.
You can have fully private AI, it can run locally on your own computer with no data leaving it. This is one of the things I’m looking forward to from Firefox AI support, since other browsers come from organizations that have their own AI they’d rather you use instead of local ones.
I have no idea how this would interfere with the extension system, or adblockers in particular. They’re completely separate things.
I suppose it’s fundamentally an issue of trust, and in recent years Mozilla did a lot to erode that. Even if an AI could theoretically be private and local, I’m not willing to believe that it’s actually going to be.
Firefox is open source, you can see for yourself what it’s doing. You don’t have to trust them.
Mozilla needs to die and be reborn under the wing of better management and community drive, because they seem to have been captured by money hungry fucks. They dont give a shit about opensource. It’s just a pipe through which they can get Google money.
Are they jonesing for openai giving them another google-sized payout? Otherwise I don’t get the rationale, the overlap of their users and people wanting ai browser is one freshman from California? Not to mention Firefox has nowhere near enough cash to burn on this thing to compete with AI companies doing the exact same thing.
(obligatory “ai, ew”)
I hate it
And it’s gonna be shiiit
You can ask it anything… Ask it to fuck off.

Yep. That’s already how the current “AI” (called “machine learning” in the options to make it more confusing) functionality in Firefox works, you need to go into about:config to turn it all off. Y’know, because it’s such a niche thing to want when you’re using a somewhat privacy-focused webbrowser.
