Mozilla will focus on bringing “trustworthy AI into Firefox.”

As soon as AI/ML crap is added to Firefox, I'll uninstall it immediately. I'm already sick of seeing "AI" built in literally everywhere.

I hope Librewolf will be able to provide binaries without this nonsense.

Another beloved thing is getting enshitificated...

depends on the implementation, article states it's based off the acquisition of fakespot which is trained to detect scams and fake reviews. if it could be expanded to detect misinformation that could be a really helpful tool depending on how its configured and information is relayed to the end user.

Well, I guess I'm just one of those people who wants a browser that's just a browser. I don't want it to chat with me, generate images, or analyze what I'm browsing, even if it's done completely local.
