Unhappy with sudden push towards AI
Apparently, the new CEO has decided to integrate more AI. I do not like this. The main reason I use FireFox and Mozilla is that it doesn’t add AI bloatware and has better privacy and security. The fact that this company is considering adding even more AI is enough to make me stop using them entirely. When they originally added AI overview, summary, and a chatbot I nearly switched to something else. I know there are not many browsers that aren’t owned by Google or a parent company left, but by god I will find one.
If you integrate AI, I will not be using your browser. It’s bad enough that other companies are doing this already, don’t be a jackass and start doing it too.

I entirely agree - I use Firefox because of its privacy features and because I can disable a lot of the AI features. I'm very concerned about the impact that adding AI will have on security and privacy - not to mention expending a lot of processing power that my fairly lightweight computer doesn't have!
For years Firefox has been one of the few remaining havens from the way other tech companies operate. Where every other tool in the ecosystem now feels designed to invade your privacy, waste your time, and enrage you, Firefox has been a tool that just works. When other companies force secretive settings on users that are opt-in by default because they know they're hostile to the user, Firefox has seemed to focus on improving the core experience instead.
All that to say, it's more than just disappointing to see it fall for the AI nonsense. It's heartbreaking. It feels like a betrayal of purpose, and I have no idea why they would hire a CEO who so vocally wants to sell out the userbase.
Firefox users are generally pretty clued in to what tech does and whether it serves their needs. We're not going to just buy that this AI bloat is being added for "our benefit".
