"It’s safe to say that the people who volunteered to “shape” the initiative want it dead and buried. Of the 52 responses at the time of writing, all rejected the idea and asked Mozilla to stop shoving AI features into Firefox."

ai can be good as long as you don't let it think for you. i think the problem is taking resources from development and building into a browser would could just be a bookmark to a webpage.

why don't they just instead put vivaldi's web panel sidebar into firefox so you can just add chatgpt or whatever as a web panel. i think that would be infinitely more useful (and can be used for other sites other than ai assistants).

Unfortunately, there's too many people already doing that, with not so clever results!

If it increases accessibility for those with additional requirements then great but we know that's not even in its top 10 reasons for being implemented

Don't they already have that last thing you mentioned?

it's an addon but not baked in (not to the point like vivaldi where you can add any web panel as a url and have it display in the sidebar)
