WE. DON'T. WANT. THIS.

Mozilla, for the love of god, stop cramming AI into the browser when the vast majority of your users just want a privacy-respecting browser that works.

I've said it before, and I've said it again: I will not donate any more money to the Mozilla foundation until they stop cramming AI into everything, and you should too.

They might be getting money from google that tells them what to do.

They are, but that's only for the search engine thing. Unless Google has a seat on the board.

It's for the default search, but it also has the side benefit of ensuring a secondary browser with decent market share that's not Chromium-based they can point to claiming they're not a monopoly.
