Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery

Extending and managing extension APIs and extensions also comes at a cost. I certainly wouldn’t be against that - but I’m not familiar with the technical details or cost of the features involved.

If a browser only aims at tech savvy people, practically no one will end up using it.

This is an UI issue. You could just show them a landing Page and ask them if they want this new feature, and then it installs the extension or not.

Yeah, a good browser should probably take an approach similar to Linux Mint.
It has to be easy to install and it has to work great for like 99.9% of normal uses without changing a single setting.
But, being free and open, if you are tech savvy then you can change and customize whatever you want. Sometimes it means I can lock down the privacy and data storage in my browser, and sometimes it means I can change the icon on my work computer’s “start” button to be a check engine light. It’s all just part of being able to use your computer the way you want to.
