Right. Like what features?
Comment on Firefox's AI Kill Switch Lands in Firefox Nightly, Slated for Firefox 148
finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 hours agoI think you misunderstood what I said, or perhaps I wasn’t clear. I’m saying the killswitch should have been in place from day one when they started implementing ai features.
That said, Mozilla seems to fundamentally misunderstand their market. The type of people who use firefox are generally pretty tech-savvy, and care about things like privacy and control over their experience. Rather than hone in on features that their users want, they have hitched their wagon to the ai hype train in an attempt to favor curry with the masses.

Improving webapp functionality rather than stuffing more and more AI down our throats, for instance.

Full profile sync would be nice

What parts of the profile aren’t synced?

Search settings, UI customizations, vertical tab settings, extension settings all come to mind.

I dunno about that guy. I’d like proper PWA support. Better VR integration. Both in Linux.

I’m all onboard with PWAs. I’m super disappointed they have so little love in general. Web tech is great locally when it’s not wrapped in electron.
If you’re a developer, have you worked with Wails? It’s like Tauri (rust) but in Go(lang).

A few bug/glitches I noticed and performance improvements are always welcome (I don’t think running ai services and integrations will improve performance)

Off the top of my head:
- better/more consistent sync
- container windows
- setting a default container for ctrl+t (and maybe shortcuts for other containers)
- a more user-friendly version of about:config
- more control for automatic data deletion aside from manual and when firefox closes (e.g. delete history+cookies older than 30 days)

I like all those!

Privacy concerns are valid when an external server needs to be queried, like if you were to use DeepL or Google Translate for this stuff, or for any LLM related muck, but they have been accounting for this already by making things work locally. For example, translations performed fully on device, and are an example of a feature I wanted.
Like many here, the entire AI browser idea doesn’t appeal to me at all, but I also struggle to come up with ‘features their users want’ if I take myself as an example. I have previously used Vivaldi, and while it is much more full featured, it doesn’t add any features that I actually end up using frequently.
