Firefox Community Forum

I have been a dedicated Firefox user for over 20 years and encouraged many others to use it for its security, customisation, privacy and accessibility - not to mention the comparative absence of AI rot. I needn’t repeat what so many others have already outlined as being immensely concerning. No question being asked, and therefore nothing to answer; this is really just to note that as a long term, genuinely loyal user, if Firefox degenerates into yet another AI-bloated nightmare (which already feels inescapable in every part of the internet!) I will be deleting my account, and deleting Firefox from all my devices. I’m so tired of this, I’m so tired of AI. Begging the new supreme leader not to obliterate the goodwill Firefox has accumulated.

Whoever they are needs to be taught a lesson in user retention. Allow me to help. Now, in the wide world of the web, there are a lot of browsers to choose from, and while firefox is a big enough fish to get mentioned regularly, it's still rather small in the grand scheme of things. The thing about that, is I would wager the majority of firefox's users are the sorts of people to look at chrome and all the dubious and sketchy things google is doing (including AI integration) and choose better for themselves. Now, what happens if mozilla decides, "hey, we're not enough like google" and start implementing the questionable policies that are in place with chrome (such as AI implementation)? If you said "those people will look at the same stuff that pushed them away from our biggest competitor and leave us too" then congratulations! You're correct, and also smarter than the average ceo. Anyway, someone please get the ceo to reconsider his decisions or I'm going to have to reconsider my own to use firefox.

I moved to Firefox because it wasn't obsessed with AI like the other browsers. If you continue with this evil plan, you will lose customers and that it both a promise and threat. Your CEO has said it's AI you can trust, ignoring all the other concerns people have with AI, like:

Water Usage Copyright breaches Hallucinations Loss of Quality Privacy breaches Storage and use of personal data, including search results and browsing Influence of racist and misogynist content from the internet on machine learning Environmental impact of the data servers to host AI A severe lack of regulations and protections regarding the above

Do NOT make this an AI browser. Your new CEO knows nothing of your market and audience and it will be your downfall.

Apparently, the new CEO has decided to integrate more AI. I do not like this. The main reason I use FireFox and Mozilla is that it doesn’t add AI bloatware and has better privacy and security. The fact that this company is considering adding even more AI is enough to make me stop using them entirely. When they originally added AI overview, summary, and a chatbot I nearly switched to something else. I know there are not many browsers that aren’t owned by Google or a parent company left, but by god I will find one.

If you integrate AI, I will not be using your browser. It’s bad enough that other companies are doing this already, don’t be a jackass and start doing it too.

The rise of AI in a browser i specifically use to not have to deal with it is honestly not making me want to use it anymore. Stop implementing AI and get off the enshittification train.

I have 4 rows of links on my desktop. How can I set these so that every article I read or You Tube video I watch doesn't replace something I want to stay on my desktop?

Can support for Harmony Next system be added, such as for phones, tablets, and computers? Looking forward to your reply. I really like using this browser. HarmonyOS

I'm sick of AI infecting everything. I JUST started moving to firefox to escape the shoving down my throat of AI and ADs that plagues everything. And now to hear that the new CEO wants to shove down even more AI? That's infuriating. No one really wants this, the people that do have something to gain, ulterior motives or don't understand just how bad it is. Not to mention the data scraping that I don't consent to.

I've seen that this browser has potential, that has a relative ease of access for people to get the experience they want. But this AI shoving is ruining that, and it's driving users away. I do not like having to jump through hoops to avoid AI but I will. It's slowing down the browser and causing even more lack of privacy! We already have so little in this modern area, it's terrible to do more.

The sad part is, is that I know there are people that run the browser that don't want this. It's the people up top who put their money into AI, thinking it's the next big thing, and are trying to make it that so their money doesn't just get yanked away. When it will anyway. AI, generative specifically, is awful. I hate the AI overviews, I hate AI 'support' in everything. In social media, in online shopping, in just damn chats. I refuse to use it. It's horrible, it's nothing but bloatware.

So I hope that this new guy will actually listen to the people that use the browser and stop it with his stupid AI stuff. There is NO room for AI browsers, there never will be room for them. And I will NEVER trust an AI browser or whatever stuff an AI pulls up, because they will pull up nonsense. They will pull up what you WANT to hear, not the actual facts. Do better, this is a disappointment.
