Hey Firefox friends! We’re trying something new and would love your help. Features like tab groups, vertical tabs, profiles, new tab wallpapers, PWAs, and taskbar pinning weren’t just ideas – they were direct responses to what you told us you wanted. Your input has helped shape where Firefox is tod...
To quote mine and probably most peoples mothers ‘If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?’
Depends on what’s at the bottom.
The reality is that if Firefox are the only browser not offering AI, they’ll lose market share. Yes, all the basement dwellers like ourselves will be happy, but then what? Mozilla already kinda fucked itself by ignoring mobile, Chrome holds an estimated 66% market share with 30% of that estimated to be mobile only users. Firefox’s market share is less than 3% in total. They need to garner users, not just appease old ones.
As I said though, I hope that all browsers can remove AI and it can be done at the OS level, so browsers can concentrate on real internet usage issues.
I honestly don’t care if browsers add or remove AI, as long as it’s opt-in and doesn’t cost resources when it’s off.
