I know we have our complaints about the browser, but I liked this one :)

The Internet you loved is still here.

No it isn't. The internet I loved is long-since dead. This is the same shit internet. Firefox doesn't magically bring you to a wondrous new world of memes, and sites can still collect enough data on your device usage to build massive advertising profiles for you, despite what one may have convinced themselves of with a plethora of extensions. Also feels weird calling out browsers with built-in AI, considering the CEO's dreams to integrate AI even deeper into Firefox.

It's a cute ad, but the core messaging is flawed.

While Firefox alone doesn't transport you to that internet, I think the point is that browsers like Firefox are one of the pieces that makes up that older experience. Fediverse being another, I would say a lot of us are here because we remember this style of social media.

They have improved the intentionality of the AI features, I wish they had it opt-out and easily configurable from the start. I moved to Zen a while back (which still relies on Firefox pushing out updates)
