Comment on Mozilla announces their new AI website builder, community reacts appropriately

  I’m sorry but this is daft.

  Mozilla is dying. Asking their tiny and dwindling user base what they think Mozilla should invest in will not save them.

  I don’t know if getting into AI will, but just following whatever absolutely tiny minority of their already tiny 2% of the web browser market share that bothers to fill out a survey won’t help them.

      Putting random words in bold doesn’t mean you have a point.

      Yeah they receive money for having a default search engine. In the past it was Yahoo and now it’s Google. I don’t see what your point is? What does it have to do with this article?

      From the article:

      Our survey data shows…

      That probably sounded very clever in your head. You probably thought you “owned” me or something.

      But I never said surveys were bad. I said surveys of a tiny percentage of Firefox users, which in themselves are a tiny percentage of browser users, is useless. There’s nothing wrong with them commissioning wider surveys.

      Do you think following what, say, a 20,000th of what users say they want is a winning strategy? To just continue what they’re doing now?

      Mozilla needs to diversify. Because They’re dying. They’d already be dead if they followed what you seem to be suggesting (focus on the browser but also don’t accept money from Google!)

    Everyone I know uses Firefox what are you on about? And new that Google Chrome blocks AD BLOCKERS, their market is going to get much bigger.

  So the answer this time is not building open source AI?
