Hey, Firefox - go fuck yourself. If I wanted to use Perplexity as a search engine in your browser (I don’t) I would’ve added it myself. You didn’t need to add it, enable it by default, and make me have to go figure out what this new random button in my search bar is. AI, like most new unproven tech, should be informed opt-in, not forcibly opt-out.
Assholes.
TL;DR: Mozilla is killing localization on Support Mozilla, overwriting articles written by humans with machine generated translations. Although Mozilla knows that their AI doesn’t localize or adhere to style guides, Mozilla is going live with it anyway. I thank locale leaders and localizers for their tireless efforts. Locale leaders seem to be obviated by AI, and Mozilla has nothing to say about it.
