I hear people saying “Mozilla isn’t trying to push AI on users”, well here is an example of it.

    For the average person that doesn’t understand promotional AI spam, how much pain would be involved in removing this option painlessly?

    Should we be concerned that a browser that is built supposedly for the public good has so much AI promotion inside of it?

      The average person probably isn’t downloading Firefox, and the average person is apparently unconcerned with AI.

      I don’t think you’re using “average” correctly when it comes to this situation.

        Fair enough if you’re being genuine. If you believe the average person is not concerned about AI, and you believe Mozilla’s alleged pledge to keep the internet healthy and not Big Tech dominated, you must be very upset about Mozilla trying to indoctrinate people into Big Tech services.

          Which would be why I disabled the AI. FF is the least worst option that still incorporates plugins like ublock among many others.

            That’s irrelevant. I asked about what you want for others, not for yourself.

                  @XLE @RememberTheApollo_
                  Hello Everybody.
                  Maybe we should focus on what really matters in a browser instead of trying to cram in every fancy feature.
                  Firefox used to be a browser for professionals, and that was cool. That’s why others use it, too.
                  Unfortunately, only the privacy aspect has remained to some extent. That makes it all the more important to get back to those roots!
                  What is the CORE? And how can we focus on that?!?!
