Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs - Lemmy.ca

Mozilla has released so many self-described AI features in the past few years, but this is the only one that has:

  • been requested by the community
  • received broad critical acclaim

I hope Mozilla learns their lesson. I doubt they will, but I hope.

Problem is Mozilla needs money and shoving AI features into shit is how you get investors these past few years.
You think VC is putting money into firefox? Wtf?
Funnily enough, it’s the other way around: Mozilla has been dumping money into AI VC startups.
