I use Firefox. I have mostly missed its new “AI features,” but a good post by Cybrkid alerted me to Firefox’s newest in-development AI “feature”: AI Window. Cybrkid is (correctly) nonplussed about this new feature and linked to good critiques in the official Mozilla forum. I learned more about what the AI Window will do in a favorable post on It’s Foss (with which I disagree). I submit for the record that if people have to go into About:Config to fully disable a new feature, I would not call it entirely opt in. Unlike Cybrkid, I am not looking to leave Firefox at the moment. I appreciate that I can disable unwanted “features” and that uBlock Origin works as expected in Firefox. But I will submit my own objection to the AI window. Souraw Rudra explains the AI Window by staying that “[i]t is basically [Mozilla’s] way of keeping up with Chrome and Edge, both of which have gone all-in on AI.” Firefox cannot “keep up” with Chrome and Edge. People have to go out of their way to use Firefox instead of Chrome and Edge. Focus on how to deliver a good product to people who are looking for an alternative to Chrome (even Microsoft understands that no one cares about Edge). Leave AI to browser extensions.
