This was so obvious but people were still defending Mozilla saying "at least there is a switch"...

Motherfucker you can opt-out of all sorts of stuff but look where that got us to with all these big tech companies. Opt-out is completely worthless.

I mean this is a crap article and a crap series of opinions. I only read it because it keeps getting spammed over and over. Now I understand why they've been downvoted consistently, it's a trash opinion.

They have a point, I wonder if the re-posts are so down voted because they are considered spamming or for some reason related to the content

Loads to a blank white page on my phone. (Chrome, AdGuard.)

That was a very repetitive and zelous read. The data Mozilla is using for their AI isn't open, free and properly licensed. Author hates baked in LLMs. Defiantly not worth reading in it's entirety.

I opted out completely by not using the Firefox browser anymore.

Don’t trust a company that says one, whelches on that idea, does damage control and then tries to offload that shit with PR and a ‘switch’ to make you happy.

They’re cooked leave the browser in the past and move on.

LibreWolf FTW?

@yoasif@fedia.io, you spammed this story everywhere.

Not cool, man.

I swear people will never be happy no matter what.

No AI features? Get with the times man.

AI features? High treason.

Opt-out? Not good enough.

Opt-in? Nobody will use it.

Can't please everyone I guess.

"Whoopsies! Sorry folks, turns out the opt-out of our baked in AI dung didn't quite funciton poperly, and you've been feeding literally everything you've done over the past months to BigTech & your favorite government. Our bad."

Not if, but how soon. Read: MS Copilot & emails

I would note that it appears that the poster created this account immediately prior to posting, and then immediately started spamming this post to many different communities, which isn't something that I'm super enthusiastic about.

Spammer.

It is how it should be. Where is the problem now? Accountability sink?? Are you that desperate??
