sigh

Ok wtf is Moxilla doing? They know their company is built on good community perception, right?

I mean they’ve been pedaling AI crap for a while without negative backlash.

Similarly they tried to ride the Blockchain train back in the crypto scam days and also didn’t face any backlash.

They’ve publicly vouched to become an AI company and an advertising company without backlash.

I think most Firefox users don’t care

What they mean with AI features is also their offline website translation feature, which is something I’ve wanted for years. The alternative is online Google website translation.
I agree with you. It’s frustrating to see people lump in genuinely good AI/ML work like private on-device translations in attempts to discredit Mozilla. There are good criticisms against them. They’ve made mistakes. There’s zero need to lump in AI/ML.
