"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."

I think Mozilla's base is privacy focused individuals, a lot of them appreciating firefox's opensource nature and the privacy hardened firefox forks. From a PR perspective, Firefox will gain users by adamantly going against AI tech.

Maybe their thought process is they'll gain more users by adopting AI while knowing they're still the most privacy focused of the major browsers. Where have I seen this mentality before?

SpoilerThe American Democrat party often believes it can get more votes by shifting conservative, believing the more progressive voters will stick pick them because they're still more progressive than not.

Yeah but you can not vote, can you really not use a browser ? At the end of the day all the browsers are either chrome or Firefox forks

It's interesting that so many of those privacy-focused individuals use Windows and don't have a single extension installed though.
