This shows how unhinged the whole recent hate on Firefox is. Turning off GenAI is literally one single setting

We heard of that "kill switch" way, way after the general outrage. Also, other software and services have an "AI killswitch" that conveniently fails to work from time to time, and is fixed only when people notice it.

It's not unhinged to point finger at someone doing something that, from experience, as always turned bad. Also, if you think the hate (I use your word, I'd say distrust) for Firefox is only related to the recent "AI" push, you're severely misinformed.

    I literally got banned from the “awfulsystems” Lemmy instance for suggesting that Firefox isn't horrible. No exaggeration, there was nothing else to my comment than a polite suggestion that Firefox is pretty good actually.

    If that ban isn't driven by hate, I don't want to see how real hate looks like.
