Firefox

How much AI do you want in your browser: ( ) None ( ) Zero ( ) I want my browser to automatically close any page that mentions AI

What country do you live in: Germany, United States, Brazil, other

What? Weird survey options.

i don’t like how they used "want least", it means three very different things:

• i want this but it’s not the thing i want the most
• i don’t care for this
• oh god fuck no

Which of the following attributes would you most want your new browser to have, and which would you want least?

Twice as slow as your current browser

Is that a joke?

Everyone's here complaining about the randomised questions when I'm just curious why location options are "Germany", " Brazil", "USA", or " Somewhere we don't care about".

You folks are really exaggerating. How is this survey weird? The random questions in groups of 3 make it easy to compare 3 features instead of rating 60 different features by most wanted to least wanted. In aggregate from thousands of replies, they can sort all answers.

I wonder what percentage of people chose "Least important" for "Do you want another fucking annoying pointless AI assistant?"

Do they publish any of the data from these surveys or use it as an excuse to remove more useful features?

"We listen to our community, so now we're removing about: config access from stable desktop builds to match the mobile version to provide uniform builds, making problems easier to replicate and also provide better security for all. Please use beta or nightly builds for tinkering."

This is one of the weirder surveys I've ever taken, I hope they know what they're doing.

Bring back PWA!!

Sadly, they're probably thinking mobile.

When looking for a new web browser, which feature would you prefer most and which would you prefer least?

• A color palette that matches Danny DeVito's armpit hair.
• Play the theme to Annie at startup.
• Take up all computer resources.

I don't want any of those. Can't we just have a browser that filters all of the popups, junk and advertising?

Nope. You can't progress through the survey without picking one thing you really don't want and at least one of two things you couldn't give a shit less about.

I hope like hell the sets of questions were randomized, because if they weren't, they were tweaked by the surveyors beforehand to try and force a particular result.

Like the AI question was paired with some incredibly crappy options like "A browser that runs 2x slower than your current browser". Obviously they want you to click that option as least wanted and leave the AI development alone (if that wasn't a randomized grouping).

Similarly, it looked like they were trying to decide which feature to sacrifice in support of AI dev in later questions, because all 3 would be things I enjoy much more than AI, but I have to rate one as least wanted.

EDIT: OK, thanks for all the responses everyone! Looks like my pairing of AI and 2x slower was just a bad random selection inducing extreme paranoia on my part. Very happy to hear that.

Yes, I want the most for Firefox to be twice as slow as my current browser (Firefox/Fennec)

All those features, and the only one I want is customizable hotkeys. Although I guess I'd also take "browser is twice as fast."

I took the survey and I didn't like how they occasionally put all shitty features in a group and I had to pick one I wanted and then followed it with all good stuff in a group and I had to say I didn't want one.

This the most blizzare survey I have ever seen. What is even happening?
