This is nothing to get excited about. Like so many other things there will be constant innovations on both sides. It’s an arms race between the scammers and the scam detectors.

Good. But remember when Firefox was supposed to be a lean alternative to other browsers? I remember.

I guess this is the approach to how AI can be used effectively.

That makes me want to use firefox less.
I don’t need a nanny-control to tell me what’s fake and what’s real.

This has the same energy as someone who says they want to drive a car less because it has seatbelts installed.
Like fine - its a useful tool that might prevent you being scammed which just displays information you can easily ignore- better run away.

A seatbelt is an actual safety device that works and isn’t being controlled by some other company.
That’s not the same thing.

Sifting through reviews to find real criticism is tedious. I never asked for this feature expecting it to become a reality, but I won’t turn my nose at time saved at 0 expense. As long as it isn’t used for marketing or fingerprinting, what’s the issue? Note: I might be missing your sarcasm, I’m tired.

Then you can ignore/turn it off? It’s also a function to protect users from malicious online behavior, dunno how that could be interpreted as a nanny, unless you also insist browsers shouldn’t warn you when accessing known malware links or similar. If you really insist on having the absolute freedom to not be advised about it when you’re being scammed then go off I guess.

Looks like it’s an another job for big daddy EU to take care of.

Why doesn’t mozilla stop adding politically correct shit like this no one asked instead of tab groups and other features?

How is this political correctness?

Maybe they read too fast and thought it said "fake news" instead?

“Presenting a view of reality that removes lies and bullshit” is left-wing

Anything I don’t like it overt political correctness

Gotta love reading opinions from people who don't know what they're talking about.
