    the killswitch is in about:config

    Ah yes, the easiest place to put a kill switch for the average user, as opposed to the complexity of a toggle in settings.

      People on Lemmy will hate to hear this but the average user wants AI integrations.

      That’s the main problem Firefox has. They are trying to appeal to a wide audience but their core users would never let them do anything that might do that. Then the core users sit there and wonder why Mozilla struggles and demand they work exclusively on the browser, an endeavor well known to not be profitable.

      The average user doesn’t give a shit about privacy either as evidenced by the state of the current Internet.

        First, citation needed on these people who want AI. People on LinkedIn will hate to hear this, but I don’t think the average user does.

        Second, I don’t understand your point. Do you actually believe the average user would feel compelled to switch to Firefox? Why? Instead, Mozilla is taking aim at their current users.

            It sucks specifically because the megacorps want to make the AI look better than it is and because they want to keep people on search results pages…

            The shittyness is a feature to these vultures.

        Indeed but 0% of them are using Firefox. That battles been lost
