  • A Chrome extension called “Microsoft to Microslop” that renames Microsoft references in browsers as a protest against the company’s aggressive AI integration.
  • The extension reflects widespread user frustration with Microsoft’s Copilot AI, which faces extremely low adoption rates and growing privacy concerns among Windows users.
  • Many users actively seek ways to remove AI features from Windows, highlighting significant backlash against Microsoft’s AI strategy despite CEO dismissals of complaints.

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.

At least they give you a choice of enabling/disabling that functionality

lmao. That's how we got Windows as enshittified as it is now.
