Mozilla is just completely mask off garbage now lmao
Like not even trying to be like "but its all on device" naah we just out here going full slop and privacy invasion.
Fuck anyone defending this shitty ass company at this point.

    No matter how bad Mozilla gets, it's morally good to defend them against Google. I see anyone using Google's products willingly as someone who is actively doing harm to the internet and the world at large.

    II agree Mozilla should be defended against Google, but presently Google is the hand that feeds them. They should be exploring alternative monetization options, like what Brave and Thunderbird are currently doing.

    Why are you bitching about a feature you don't even have to use? Some of us like the direction Mozilla is going.

    So now instead of reading a 7,000 word article written by a bot (so I can root out the one sentence of useful information) now I can get another bot to summarize it for me.

    What a world of wonder

    Jesus, they are sprinting to kill the Internet before others do rather than offering an alternative.

    This centralizes information, decisions, and removes humans from the web. Shitty website? Poor writing? Illiterate population? No penalty, someone else's AI will summarize it for your victims users. You can just insert someone else's AI token you can buy that shares content that some other AI told you is "optimized" and when the AI summarizes itll be something users respond to or engage with. Just like short form video, it doesn't mean it's correct, true, useful, insightful, complex or wise, but as long as they come back and stay on the treadmill who cares?

    Also, when your innovation is akin to "ShakeWeight" you want to go back to the drawing board...

    shaking as input is objectively moronic.

    The only time I have agreed with it is when Google used it for the "send feedback" dialog on Android, because that was hilarious.

    If we really need to summarize the web that frequently, then there is something seriously wrong with the web.

    Not interested in any of this AI shit. You can get Iceraven, Firefox without any of this crap, regularly updated & supporting all the module extensions. Not just mobile

    Mozilla doesnt have translate figured out yet. Needs to be told what language it is everytime.

    It is behind chrome in a lot of ways and they focus on this.
