That sounds great for a power user that loves to research what extensions and such to have in their browser, and likes to customise their system to be just how they like it, but it doesn’t sound like something with the wide-market appeal that Mozilla needs if they’re to become a mainstream name again.
Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox
RonSijm@programming.dev 8 months agoIf AI integration is to happen […], then this to me seems to be the best way to do it.
Well, to me the best way to do it would be for Mozilla to focus on being the best bare-bone, extendable browser.
Then - if people want an AI in their browser - people should be able to install an AI extension that does these things. It’s a bit annoying they’re putting random stuff like Pocket, and now an AI in the core of the browser, instead of just making it an option to install extendable

That’s not what I said at all. I said Firefox needs to have broad appeal and right now it doesn’t.

You forget people DON’T want to personalize, and most Firefox users aren’t power ones.

I think they use one of the FF forks. LibreWolf? I’ve never tried it but it’s the one I keep hearing around the fediverse.

I use LibreWolf for finding torrents, and I use Firefox for my normal day to day use. I wouldn’t call myself a power user though
