      Honestly, the fact that they even have a remove button easily accessible like this is miles above everyone else.
      I’d still prefer opt-in, but this is better than nothing.

        It shouldn’t be part of the core browser at all. That trash still takes up space in the installation (however small), and could be reenabled without my consent in a future update. At a bare minimum, it should have been a plugin.

        If you click this, then go into about:config and search on .ml, you’ll still see a host of other toggled on features that you still need to disable.

    I like the firefox AI translation because it doesn’t send the text to fucking google. It translates it on my machine, and its shitty but good enough most of the time.

      And when it fails, it fails spectacularily!

      The mistranslations can be (and usually are) absolutely hilarious. Saying a part of me will be disappointed once they inevitably fix it is an understatement.

    Explanation of the image

    Spoilers for the game Deltarune, particularly the alternative routes

    The image depicts a dialogue box with the option “proceed” selected using the soul. In the Weird Route (an alternative route that changes various events in the game), the word “proceed” is used to represent morally wrong actions that advance the weird route (for example, forcing the character Noelle to run through the mouse puzzles in Chapter 2, or forcing the thorn ring onto her finger in Chapter 4)

    The use in the meme suggests that Mozilla is forcing the change through, without listening to their users

          “So what” …the defining ethos of the slop bros who don’t mind when technology is built on the back of stolen content and ecosystem collapse.

            stolen content and ecosystem collapse

            Ok, I just have to say… You… just described all of capitalism.

            I understand the Anti-Ai push, but I wish we would stop acting like LLMs are doing something new or inherently worse then what we are already doing. Search engines are also themselves massive data vats thay use energy and shit unrenewably. Computing like we currently do it in any form is bad.

            Could we please stop being like “AI is DesTRoYinG ThE PlaNEt!”. Because yes, it is, but every fucking thing we do in technoledgy is too. You think the fediverse is all on “green” energy?

              Bad take. The energy AI is using right now compared to all search engines is immense and real people can feel this effect because their energy bills are rising as a direct cause of new datacenters all for AI.

              A lot of things are destroying the planet, but AI is certainly up there towards the top i’d think.

                Agreed. While plenty of people have been covering energy use by technology for many years as well as the many dangers of social media and other online services…the fact is Gen AI simply takes everything that was already questionable and doubles it…quadruples it… Yes, not everything in tech is bad! And the stuff that was bad before does not excuse what’s frighteningly worse now.

            I’m sure from your perspective I am part of the problem - you haven’t defined it but I figure given your defence of an obviously false statement you consider anyone not part of the anti-AI crusade to be part of the problem. I hope you have enough clogs.

      Right now, if you have an enterprise sponsor, you’re going to be pushed to find a way to add something that qualifies as AI. So basically, yeah, probably.

    Is there really a choice? Ai is here to stay. Also majority of Firefox users aren’t using it specifically as an alternative to big tech
