No one wants an “AI browser”

So, as I’m sure everyone has heard by now, the new CEO wants to make Firefox an “AI browser”. As a long time user, I think I speak for a lot of us when I say WE DON’T WANT THIS. In fact, the reason many of us were here is that Firefox was pretty much the last major browser not to give in to using generative AI for everything. I hope the CEO backtracks on this, or Firefox is going to lose a TON of users and money. Let’s go over the facts.

- Generative AI uses an unsustainable amount of energy and water, and AI data centers are responsible for a lot of air pollution. - AI tools are frequently incorrect, and lead to misinformation being spread. - Data is frequently scraped for AI training without user permission, and leaks are very common. This goes completely against Mozilla’s commitment to privacy, which was one of the big reasons I started using Firefox to begin with.

This announcement is very disappointing, and the CEO really needs to reconsider. Keep Firefox secure. Keep “AI” LLMs OUT.

I completely agree. I do not want generative AI in my browser at all! I've been using Firefox almost exclusively for months now because it's the only browser that lets me disable all the gen-AI "features". It would be even better if they were all opt-in instead of on by default, but at least they CAN be disabled.

The CEO says he recognizes that other companies are contributing to a climate of distrust through their dishonest actions when pushing this product, yet is committing to doing the exact same thing they are by shoehorning LLMs into Firefox. A real gesture of trust from Mozilla would be shipping this as an opt-in feature, not a mandatory one. I came to Firefox because I wanted a standard, reliable, trustworthy browser I could not get from Microsoft or Google. I am now looking at other browsers that do not and will not have LLMs pushed on their users. If I want to use one I can always go to its website.
