for the love of god lead with that next time

I will instead CHOOSE to use a browser that doesn't support the water-sucking electricity-draining tech-waste-dumping HIPAA-violating scam machine built on theft at all.

The fact you’re burying this in the comments versus explaining it in its own post says a lot. Though, to be sure, the best thing you could do is just abandon the AI integration entirely…

And when will it be available in more countries?

It's a bundled feature that cannot be uninstalled... "Optional" is when something needs to be downloaded separately. Like ad blockers.

Fuck off. It was optional to get into AI and Firefox keeps choosing wrong - again and again. Ask any regular person who has ever used Firefox if they give a rat's ass about its profit margin. Or maybe, do a search on your own browser to see the kids ChatGTP has killed... STOP FEEDING PEOPLE CANCER!

The fact you are supporting anti-environmental, anti-copyright, antu-freedom garbage AT ALL is the problem. Giving people the choice to do something bad is a bad thing, period. Firefox. PLEASE reconsider and completely remove AI. Please.

Did you ask the people whose work was stolen to power it if they wanted to use it?

i would like the *choice* to use software that's entirely free of the fascist malware being shoved down our throats at every turn

i mean I dont think it would've changed the outcome much but you guys def should have led with this

Who cares? The thing is, you're using donations towards funding AI. No one wants it. It just makes your browser slow and steals data. I want to know WHY you did this.

that's nice but i can't seem to find the option that stops Mozilla from wasting funds on this crap.

If I have to disable it then its already in the code and already posing a security and privacy threat. No thanks

Or I could use LibreWolf.

I turned all the AI shit off in the desktop Chrome web browser... and somehow it's still turned on in a bunch of places like in the location/search/omnibox and in the developer tools/inspector/javascript console, despite these dozens of "features" being set to 'Disabled' in chrome://flags/

My continued use of Firefox is also fully optional, please keep this in mind you vermin.

Mozilla team... PLEEEASE withdraw from investing into this. Close the Beta and pronounce it "a tough decision to retire the AI". We don't want this. Some people MIGHT have mentioned it, but look how many more people are complaining NOW!!! 😔 Please... be on the right side of history... 💔

Glad I stopped using this shit last year.

No one wanted this. Wtf???

Fucking gross.

Still very bad.

What a dumb idea.

ruins not powers

Is it actually gonna be a choice this time or are the "features" gonna be automatically enabled and then the onus put on the user to go in and disable them? Again. (btw this sucks. terrible decision, fire whoever thought it was a good idea)

Congrats on ruining your product.

I literally use your search engine to get away from AI trash, fuck you

with no permission. AI is surveillance, AI is power to governments and big companies. The general public uses AI for generating slop, claiming they are artists, they made videos, images, 3D models, etc... they did not. They are not artists.

What you have to remember is that US AI companies are all infested with a eugenecist white supremacist apocalyptic sex cult.

Toward oblivion

"The AI race" is just companies around the world experiencing FOMO and throwing a ton of money, quality control, and consumer goodwill down the toilet just so they can say they use AI while techbros laugh at how easy it actually is to scam them.

Lol

How about no AI model? I don't need AI in my web browser, thanks.

I used Mozilla to AVOID using AI or have any mention of AI of any kind. You're making a big mistake.

I have switched off every single AI "feature" you've ever added. What are you even doing.

cool. just tell me how to toggle it all off and let me leave it that way.

It's a waterfowl conspiracy

Oh wow, Waterfox has come a long way.

oecd.ai/en/incidents...

You can download a fork that strips it. Waterfox and LibreWolf do this

You CAN use your local AI as a provider in Firefox. Use addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...

Ideally I would rather have a hybrid hash-herustic and LLM model for TTS and Speech Input, but they don't exist yet. Mostly LLM is needed for inflection pass on the TTS, not the actual tone generation.

#FuckAI GO TO HELL

Why is it so hard to understand we don't want any, this is why I switched to LibreWolf and Waterfox

Wow an optional feature you don’t need to use sure is upsetting huh

I've been using Firefox since 2005. AI has no place in my life, that includes my browser, and that's why I'm using Waterfox now. Read the room, please. We don't want slop.

NOPE.

What a terrible idea.

Thanks for your input!

Oh FUCK right off. Been using Firefox for years to avoid this shit and you're going all in on it. God every tech corporate CEO is fucking brain dead at this point.

Lol bye

Literally what is the point for anyone to ever migrate off chrome to your platform now dipshits

Nobody wants this shit, for fuck sake

* Company not corporation ** Fuck you to the company, not the social media manager

NOBODY WANTS THIS AND WE HATE YOU

shut the fuck up

Thanks. This is why I no longer use FF. You guys totally suck.

BOOOOOOOO

YIKES. uninstalling tonight, thanks for the heads up.

I mean, I'd choose to use a web browser that doesn't have ai baked into it, if I could ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have you considered fucking not

Are you dumb?

After 22 years of using Firefox that's the end for me. Go fuck yourself with your AI shit.

take your ai and shove it up your ass

I can't be assed to create a new meme because you're all doing this now.

this is dire. rip firefox, you were already on your way out but now it's officially time to delete you from all my devices.

We don't need AI to browse the web. Don't do this.

Are yall fucking stupid?

Lame.

Are your bosses stupid? Like genuinely, have they not spoken to a living person lately? The titanic that is ai is sinking and theyre like "oh dude how much are tickets??" Lmfao

Fuck you.

Bye, RIP

New inbuilt slop? Nein danke.

Can all of you stop doing this? And by "this" I mean "completely destroy your public image because of goddam AI shit"

why would there be?? chrome has had an AI button right in the fucking address bar for months

I feel caught between a rock and a hard place, because LibreWolf seems to go overly aggressive to the point of breaking websites. I'll have to try it again and see if I can tweak some settings.

SPOILER ALERT: most people don't want AI. It's one of the few things most people are UNIVERSALLY agreeing on that aren't people that can't think for themselves. stop forcing AI upon us, we DO NOT WANT TO USE IT. I have used Mozilla since '06, and will be moving on. Good job team!

Hahahahah fuck no.

no one asked for this, fuck you

read the room, nerds

btw this made me install waterfox so thanks 👍

Are you fucking dense

Why why why why why why why why why why

eu fico pensando: vocês não conhecem os seus usuários mesmo ou a openai e amigos deixaram um caminhão de dinheiro na porta do enzor demeo msm?

Time to move from firefox!

And I am now no longer using FireFox

Fuck that guy

highly recommend librewolf, open-source anti-ai fork of firefox, been using it for awhile now

You should ban yourself

Well there goes all your good will buddy. Rest in piss.

No thank you

In 4 the ratio

Same, not quite a year ago but still several months. Seems to have been the right choice.

Oh come ON

Apparently, yeah! It's called Waterfox (just learned about it today too)

Pathetic.

barf!

I don't want any of this shit in my browser! I don't care if I can opt out! I'm not stupid enough to think you're not gonna try and sneak it in anyway! Take it out! I don't want it! Get it the fuck out of there!

We believe an open web starts with choice, and you have chosen the wrong path.

lol. lmao even.

You’re excited to use something that everyone hates?
