AI integration is a bad idea
I switched to firefox because I was annoyed at the integration of ai into my previous browser. If the new CEO of firefox fulfills his plans to add more ai into firefox, I will switch browsers again. The integration of ai is completely unnecessary, the vast majority of users will not use the features at all or will leave firefox as I plan to. Firefox has always stood apart by protecting the data privacy of those who use it and integrating ai will ruin that.

I also have used Firefox for years on many devices as my primary browser with confidence. In this era of AI hype pushing and shitifying the entire internet experience especially I had been pleased to not see AI features popping up on Firefox I'd have to try to turn off and probably be pestered about trying no matter what I do. No more I guess.
People don't use Firefox because they want to expose themselves to AI. They use it because of Firefox's reputation of being reliable and trustworthy. Plugging into the nonsense machine to jump on a hype train undermines that trust and the user experience for many people. I already changed my search engine to DuckDuckGo to avoid AI in Google. I can change my browser too.
