Heartbreaking, I’ve been using it since it was called Phoenix but am now considering a switch to Vivaldi depending on their implementation of this stuff.

Will, Mozilla adding AI and advertising to Firefox. That’s not helping things.

I’m pretty sure you can just turn it off in settings. Or you can look at Librewolf which is just Firefox with some tweaks.

Switch to another Firefox-based browser instead.

It’s just a way to interact with AI models from the browser, and you need an account on a provider as Mozilla does not provide any AI services.
People just love to hate Mozilla for 0.001% of the shit other browsers do

They are definitely heading towards on-device models.

Well an on-device model is private and solves the data concerns, so it is much better
Hell, I’d might use it if it uses something like llama.cpp

From what I’ve seen they’re only adding ways to use AI more efficiently from the browser, it’s not like they’re developing their own AI, or forcing anyone to use it. It’s not even an obvious feature either, and you need to set it up with an existing AI service.
So on the AI enshittification scale, I’d rank Mozilla pretty low (unless there’s something I’m unaware of)
