Mozilla's new CEO confirms Firefox will become an "AI browser", with opt-out features. The aim is to raise money. But what does this pivot means for users?
It sounds like the new CEO understands a significant part of the user base doesn’t want AI features and offers an opt-out for those. Which means that remixes like Waterfox can just turn them off. I think it’s an acceptable compromise until a real open browser shows up. Making Firefox worse might even speed up development of newer, better alternatives.
