Firefox better stop with pushing AI and features that no one wants.
All of the AI functions can be disabled with a single checkbox.
Still rather they spend the resources they spend on AI elsewhere.
And the ai be opt-in in the first place. I guess they know no one would enable it otherwise.
I maintain that AI features should have been an optional extension, not a mandatory baked-in feature that could have been accomplished with one.
Especially because Mozilla isn’t just devoting developer time to it, they have been pushing whole feature updates to these “optional” components inside bugfix releases
Yeah… I can’t wait until servo is finally stable enough to build an actual browser around.

i’d immediately enable translations.
AI is a cash cow rn – it makes sense for firefox to try grab some of the waterfall while it’s still running.
Librewolf / Waterfox depending on your privacy requirements?
One day, probably. I just liked how Mozilla did things until recently. I’m even pro them moving towards things like VPNs and such.
I mean you can just turn it off including future ones, no?
And sadly, as much as I wish this weren’t true, my 70y old mum I talked into Firefox does kinda make good use both of the translate feature and interestingly of the summarize. With age, she noticed she struggles with long texts, so she has the browser summarize it, checks whether it is what she actually wants to read, then later makes time to read it slowly with breaks.
That’s just 1 user, I know. Still, it gave me pause. I didn’t think summarize in particular had a real use case.
Oh i never thought of such a use cade
Then you’re a fool. Only a good browser with AI can defeat a bad internet full of AI.
