This is why I drew a line in the sand.

The industry wants to turn the browser into a concierge between you and the web, interpreting and filtering your reality. They call it delegation - I call it a loss of agency.

A browser should be a tool you wield, not something that makes decisions for you.

@arstechnica maybe worth mentioning us as an alternative ;)

I like that Firefox is (through @jaffathecake) communicating. But the point is not really if you can disable the features TBH.

I think the problem is how Firefox/Mozilla is perceived: Putting a whole lot of resources into AI gambles (that the community does not seem to be too thrilled about to say the least) while seemingly losing all focus on the Open Web as something to work on, strengthen and defend. Especially with Google/Chrome's dominance.

The new CEO coming in and just hammering "AI" while never talking about how exactly those systems can only exist by harming the open web is a bad sign.

It's not so much about distrust of the engineers working on Firefox and them adding a switch or not. It's about a communicated vision that seemingly pushes aside all the things people want Firefox to exist for.
