      „Original idea“ my lily white ass. It’s been done repeatedly, which is _part_ of the reason the userbase doesn’t want it.

      How about you just not waste any time adding that garbage in the first place? Then you know, you don’t need a kill switch.

      How about this- add AI features only IF people start asking for it, OR offer some extension with AI for those who want it.

      What does kill switch mean here? The small red X at the top right of the window?

      Why not just make it an extra plugin that you have to choose to install optionally and then people can choose to install it if they actually want it?

    10. dreganxix on

      Good, now make a version that doesn’t include AI. They can call it Firefox Light

      Sorry Firefox, I know we have been best friends since you were released but there is no coming back from this. Any company that tries to force AI on their users gets added to my boycott list at this point.

      I do not want to have to modify the settings every time I clear the browser cache.

      I, a loyal user of 15 years or so, will walk.

      That their new ceo is even thinking of disallowing ad blockers is concerning.  If their board nominated a pos sell out to ceo we cannot trust them on anything.  

      They are probably actively handing backdoors to powerful groups to extrajudicially spy on us as we speak.

      I turned it off so fast. The update also completely fucked my browser somehow so it was just a cherry on top. „Would you like Firefox AI to summarize this page for you?“ NO FUCK OFF I WILL READ IN MY ADHD STYLE ON MY OWN THANK YOU.

      How about this: don’t do the shit AI version to begin with. You save loads of money and keep your customers. Idiots

      I’ve been a supporter for years that will be now researching alternative non-AI browsers. Any suggestions?

      I’ve said this on another post about this but what if instead of having to build in a “kill switch” how about oh I don’t know

      Have it OPT IN and they way everyone sorta wins (still lose as the ai crap is there)

    19. techdog19 on

      I have been using Firefox since it was sold on store shelves as Netscape. I don’t want this and will probably look at alternatives.

      I’m already using waterfox so it’s a bit late, but also that should be an AI „yes I want this“ switch. Why should I chase around every app trying to switch this shit off all the time. It’s invasive.

    22. NomadFH on

      No. I’m sick of fighting the software I use to not do things I don’t want it to do. I’m sick of using things that need constant pushback to have crap removed. Just please go away

    23. RiderLibertas on

      Too little too late. I can’t trust Firefox anymore now. I’m almost glad this happened because it caused me to go to Vivaldi – the best browser you’ve never heard of.

    24. Myst3ryGardener on

      I’m this close from dropping Firefox still. Wtf were they thinking

    26. AvailableReporter484 on

      Not once have I used an AI feature in any of the various apps and softwares I use daily. Not once. Not GitHub. Not vscode. Not Instagram. Not chrome. Nothing. I do not want or need this “feature.” I understand it’s important to their stockholders who think AI is the trillion dollar answer to their mega yacht needs, but as the consumer I have **no need** for this.

    27. NoTopSide on

      Is it hard to create your own browser? Could be a fun project idea especially everything surrounding AI. I’m not talking about existing engines either.

    28. g_rich on

      iTerm 2 on macOS handles this well, the Ai features are disabled by default and not even included with the core app. In order to use them you need to both enable them in settings and download a plugin.

      Too late for that. Already shown your true colors. Switched to Brave for good until that also goes to shit.

    34. Abel_Skyblade on

      This is 100% some capitalist bs. Anyone actually working in teck rn can tell you that many companies are trying to force employees to use AI regardless of any actual performance improvements just so they can say that they use it. So investors feel reassured. Others try to use AI for fire local labor and disguise offshoring. Companies like mozilla are prob doing it because of funding. They need to „sell“ themselves out.
