mozilla saying they want shovel more and more AI as part of thier future development.

New CEO is a AI shill.

Oh no. I’d rather take a hammer to the dick.

For a slightly less dramatic description: the person who's been in charge of Firefox is now the CEO of Mozilla. In an interview they detailed their vision which includes trying to get money in more ways than just making Google the default search engine, all of which involve growing the user base. He said that ignoring changes in technology doesn't benefit users or the Internet, and alluded to some previously announced features that are in progress for Firefox, including on device AI tools for things like alttext generation and translation, and upcoming features like an AI browsing window which has more integration with an AI including ones that aren't on the device depending on what the user selects.
He reiterated that user control of data and privacy remains their biggest selling point, so that has to remain the focus of whatever path they take.

Waterfox is not a good alternative. There was a whole thing a while back about privacy and the developer explicitly stated that he does not care about such things.

Which browsers are used by linux users if not firefox or one of its forks? Even on windows firefox was always the first thing i installed.
