You probably already live in some sort of bubble if you’re a Firefox user. Most people straight up don’t care about the things Firefox offers, and what it offers (better privacy, a functioning extension system including adblockers) is diametrically opposed to using LLMs IMO.
You can have fully private AI, it can run locally on your own computer with no data leaving it. This is one of the things I'm looking forward to from Firefox AI support, since other browsers come from organizations that have their own AI they'd rather you use instead of local ones.
I have no idea how this would interfere with the extension system, or adblockers in particular. They're completely separate things.
I suppose it’s fundamentally an issue of trust, and in recent years Mozilla did a lot to erode that. Even if an AI could theoretically be private and local, I’m not willing to believe that it’s actually going to be.

With their user base, or with this particular social media bubble we're in right now?
