I don’t understand how they are supposed to “sell your data” if you just never use a Mozilla account and uncheck all the telemetry. Its not like they can secretly steal your data, since its Open Source.

It seems to me like just more FUD that Google is spreading to undermine our trust in free software.

    Mozilla just can’t stop taking Ls. This new and unnecessary development is another one.

    Putting a local LLM into a product that doesn’t need it, just like other businesses do, is just one step too far for me. I hate this AI trend with a passion.

    Good thing that Firefox is open source so that we can just switch forks.

      Seconded, the pushing AI trend is just off putting and is something that literally no-one asked for. It reminds me of that brief trend of 3D TVs.

        Where does I say that it diminish it’s quality?

        Also the you don’t have to use it, is a weak argument not even for or against it.

          “Ew”
