Sound like more AI bullshit in Firefox, but privacy, because Mozilla is "trusted".

Mozilla is a floundering fish that instead of focusing on coordinated movements to get to one place, it spazzes out, wildly fighting for it's life. My prediction (and hope) is that Ladybird and browsers built on top of Servo will supplant Firefox to take away Mozilla's revenue and kill the entire org.

    As a Waterfox user, I wonder how all of this will impact forks?

    Oh no, we wouldn't want to have an open source browser capable of using AI tools, that should be entirely left to the closed source browsers. Those are much more "trustworthy."

    Those AI tools would be forced onto you.

    In my particular case I want many of those tools. They're not being forced on me. Should I have to turn to closed-source browsers in order to get them?

    No, you should use those open-source AI tools that offer integration with your open-source web browser (e.g. extensions). Like adblocking, nto forced onto you but there is a plethora of ways to integrate it into your browser.

    Sorry, what are you talking about? What browsers offer more than a chatbot window? Even Perplexity's browser is just a chatbot window on top of Chromium.

    Disco is the only one where I've seen something beyond that.
