They already said it's opt-in. I'm not happy with the AI bullshit but can we stop pretending this is like Google, Microsoft and others forcing their bullshit.

    It's ok buddy.

    I defended mozilla for the longest time. Trying to see the underlying motive for every dumb decision, challenging others to at least acknowledge their strategy.

    This latest brain fart from the new CEO is the end of that though.

    It's fine to keep defending them, but it would also be fine to acknowledge that mozilla is actively alienating Firefox' loyal following.

    Since when a kill switch means "opt-in"???

    You are falling for their bullshit.

    I mean it seems to me the opt-in part is when they say it will be opt-in by it potentially being a button on the toolbar. Though the dev acknowledges not everyone will see that as opt-in.

    I can understand why people have issues with that, but let's at least keep criticisms to what they've actually said?

    I don't care if it's opt-in over opt-out, I don't even care if it's an entirely optional thing that I could tell Firefox I don't want when I'm installing it, I do not want AI in my browser. I want my browser to load the pages I tell it to load when I tell it to load them and that's it

    What exactly does one get from defending stupid decisions of a company?

    If you read my comment as defending their stupid decisions, you need to repeat elementary school.
