a quote from Enthony Enzor-Demeo, the current CEO of Firefox.
I like how you treat any rumors you don't like as propaganda, implying ill intent, as well as call people morons for not trusting yet another corpo.
I personally use firefox for now, because i'm too lazy to set up synchronization between devices myself in an opensource browser.
The fact that they're slightly better than their competitors is not a reason to fanboy over them and put a blind eye over their slow but steady shift towards enshittification.
Sure, blind loyalty is bad, but your characterization of Mozilla is either ignorant or disingenuous. From Wikipedia:
This doesn't mean that enshittification can't happen, but Mozilla Corporation clearly has different pressures than most corporations.
Again, propaganda against Firefox with no basis.
What is your claim? That because it uses AI, it inherently bad?
The AI functions implemented by Firefox are generally run locally. They are NOT sent to some central server, and they are NOT stored, and they are NOT used for biometrics.
You show NOTHING, and yet you act like you made a point???
You are as much part of the problem as Microsoft and Google.
lmao. You fail to beat the fanboy allegations with this comment. At this point you literally look like the guy from the meme in my eyes.
and again with the misuse of the word "propaganda", this time topped off with the most basic demagogic manipulation i've seen in a while, comparing me to corpos, trying to... What exactly? Is the last paragraph there to make me feel bad? Because it provides no logical counter-argument to what i said. Sorry, but i'm too autistic to be ragebaited.
You're the one, making claims without supporting them with any proof.
My claim is that firefox gets worse by adding the features nobody asked for, spending time and money for their development, purely out of FOMO of the AI hypetrain, while struggling to implement actually relevant modern technologies such as WebGPU. AI can be a useful instrument, but if i ever want to use it, i'd use specialized tools for that, and look for them at specialized places.
Whether you like it or not, some people want AI features and Firefox isn't in a position to snub their users. At least they give you a choice of enabling/disabling that functionality
Pardon, but some people want to eat shit and watch others do it. Some people still use facebook. I don't judge them. But won't be happy if they showed up and told me that i must do it as well.
And those features being what exactly? A small chat window drop-out so your lazy ass won't need to open an ai chat in a tab? This is absurd.
lmao. That's how we got Windows as enshittified as it is now.
