    If you look at the Mozilla community forums before they announced the AI feature, nobody was asking for it.

    In fact, Reddit posts from earlier months leaned in the opposite direction, with people thankful that Mozilla had not injected unethical AI into Firefox.

      This feature (that is again, opt-in) is not for you or me, or anyone who knows that mozilla connect exists, its for timmy, who is does not know anything about tech but likes using chatbots

        Except there’s already a slough of those browsers.

        Every other corporation has implemented the same AI chatbot features, and made it look prettier. I thought Mozilla was supposed to be beyond that, better than following the herd.
