Comment on Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs
XLE@piefed.social 1 day agoThe “gimmick” is proposing alt text based on the image when editing PDFs. I don’t see how it’s unhelpful.
A gambling toolbar that links to Polymarket could be helpful. But I think we both said “crucial”.
If you know someone who uses Firefox to add images to PDFs so often that the alt text generation would be crucial to them, or even more than a gimmick, please introduce me to them. I have so many burning questions. Several things related to “why not a dedicated PDF editor?!”
