Instead of being a dick about it, why don’t you show what they’re doing and why you don’t like it, so we can all be educated and/or have a conversation about it, so everyone can decide for themselves if it’s a problem for them?
Probably because they knew it’d devolve into stupid comments like yours. Honestly what were you trying to achieve by just baselessly calling someone a Mozilla shill?
But for anybody curious, the “AI” that Mozilla will be implementing is entirely optional, trained on open source datasets that have been ethically sourced, works entirely offline, is run locally, and doesn’t send your personal info to Mozilla.
It will be used for things like better offline translation, finding alternate sources for articles if you want to find them, spotting fake reviews, as well as accessibility features like a better screen reader and image descriptions for images without a manually added description tag.
Personally my issues with AI are pretty much entirely related to stealing training data, and using AI as an excuse to push more ads and scrape more userdata. That’s not the case here, and this should not be treated like Google/MS’s AI features.
Not that benchmarks matter a whole lot these days, but I think for some benchmarks it was faster than Chrome. It’s close enough to not even be a factor, in any case.
Also, it has a feature that Chrome seemingly has no analogue for, and that is: containers.
I never entirely stopped using Firefox. I still use Chrome alongside Firefox for certain things at work.
It had its lows and highs in my opinion. But yeah Firefox on desktop is a great experience right now. Sadly I can’t say that about mobile version, it’s frustrating to say the least.
Firefox is the way. If you haven’t tried Firefox since 2008, you should. It is as fast as Chrome. It has improved significantly since 2008.
They’re also prioritising a few great and much needed QoL improvements like vertical tabs, tab grouping and a new Profile Management system!

I think it’s time you actually were terminally offline dude. You’re being an asshole. Nobody is trying to put one over on you.

Firefox Containers are a game changer.
Came here to say this. I wish other browsers would catch up to Firefox and add this feature for when I have to use them (esp. Chrome/Edge).
Only if you could choose the default container for the new tabs instead having to long press the new tab button and selecting it manually.
You can absolutely do that.
