God fucking dammit Mozilla
You just need to build a damn fucking browser.
You go on this AI path, you alienate your core audience and won’t attract any new users. It’s not like ChatGPT morons will suddenly switch to Firefox because it does ethical AI.

I managed to get off of Chrome - it was hard because it's everywhere, but I did it.
But yeah - AI has pretty much joined the "junk waste of time" club with blockchain and derivatives: heavyweight and ultimately useless, at best.
Moved to Duck Duck Go when I dropped chrome - downloaded their webkit-based browser last night. Time to give it a whirl. It's best to prepare a soft landing ahead of time.
Ugh. No support for extensions/add-ons. My one non-negotiable is I gotta have OneTab or my browser quickly becomes unusable. Time to research alternatives that support OneTab or some equivalent.
