people who are fine with chrome are just gonna stick with chrome. by adding AI and other bullshit features, they’re just pushing away people like me, who chose them specifically because they’re not like chrome
Mozilla has taken a series of terrible strategic positions over the last decade and I’m not trying to make a case that any of those were good ideas, nor am I supporting the addition of this AI bullshit presently. I’ll switch to whatever fork doesn’t include these AI chat bots.
That said, I do understand why mozilla leadership is moving in this direction… for the millionth time, they’re trying to attract the 98% of the market who presently doesn’t use firefox, they’re not trying to endear themselves to you - the 2% of the market who presently does use firefox.
You can make a case that this particular feature is the wrong move, but ultimately you’re arguing against extensive modelling and market research and strategic analysis conducted by a large sophisticated organisation with anecdotal insights.
i genuinely don’t understand if there’s a market for people who want ai features that aren’t fine with chrome
That’s kind of my whole point. Mozilla needs to be an option for people who are fine with chrome.

I’m in a difficult position here.
