    Mozilla is only focusing on AI stuff.

      I’m not sure why all the down-votes… But I’m not lying… Look at: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/mozilla-lays-off-60-people-wants-to-build-ai-into-firefox/. Or https://digiworld.news/news/65190/mozilla-invests-30m-to-launch-mozillaai-and-redefine-the-next-era-of-ai. There are literately millions invested into AI by Mozilla.

      And they are mostly hiring AI engineers as well: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/careers/listings/

      Ah, the hate-chorus when the people making the only browser keeping choice alive does… Literally anything.

        After Mozilla introduced “Allow web sites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement”, I was out for good now. I moved to forks like Floorp, LibreWolf or Waterfox.

          Yeah I read about that and it’s in no way a breach of privacy. So you overreacted, probably without even researching what you were reacting to

            No I didn’t overrated. Users where opt-in in ad tracking by default after that Firefox update. Users were not notified about this. And “privacy-preserving ad measurement” is misleading on purpose, I don’t understand why you would fall for that too.

            This all happened when Mozilla bought an ad company called Anonym. I’m fully done with Firefox now. I moved to a Firefox fork.

      Not really true.

      And locally-run translation that utilises AI, as well as AI accessibility features for blind users isn’t nefarious.

      People need to actually look into features before they have a stupid and completely reactionary “it says AI therefore evil” response.

        What is not true? Mozilla is lay off people with a move to AI: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/mozilla-lays-off-60-people-wants-to-build-ai-into-firefox/. And invested millions into AI: https://digiworld.news/news/65190/mozilla-invests-30m-to-launch-mozillaai-and-redefine-the-next-era-of-ai. And are hiring a lot of AI engineers specifically: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/careers/listings/
