But why? I literally swapped from Brave the other day.
It's so fucking sad and they even just announced HDR support and split view in Nightly.

tell them to quit the bullshit AND
1. revert whatever version introduced ram mass usage
2. add anon tabs and or groups that cover new sessions/cookies pool, yes to multi account in sites
3. introduce tab subgroups

NTA but a web browser simply cannot be secure with AI components within it

Just turn them off before you start jerking it to illegal pornography which we all know is the only reason this is bothering you.

I don't plan on using ai features, but ff once reached out to me through a feedback poll, I suggested a feature and they added it
>>
>>107859249
>literally swapped from Brave
first mistake. firefox is the worse browser on the market right now as far as leaving the user alone and not changing shit. when brave changes shit its because Google changed something upstream and it didn't get caught. Usually takes a min to hide whatever button or feature they add unlike Firefox where I have to go into about config or whatever.
>>
>>107859249
Heh, It just gets worse every version, just like Windows

Someones clearly paying mozilla to add this AIslop. All of their users are asking not to implement it yet theyre still pushing forward with no concern for their users wishes.
Funny how all these tranny libtards hate on elon musk for being le evil rich capitalist that uses his money to buy influence, yet when its some rich faggot funding them then its all rainbows and butterflies

Well, isn't Mozilla more than 50% owned by Google
>>
>>107859550
who controls mozilla?

I'd say ff enshittification is being paid for and is on purpose yes, they're trying to get rid of the last 5 users they have

google pays them to be the default search engine. that money is Mozilla's main income. But that doesn't give Google any power over Firefox. And if Google stopped paying them, another search engine provider would step up and pay them instead. they'd pay less, but probably still enough.

for all the talk about listening to the community and implementing an AI kill switch, it sure takes them a lot of time. The community's negative reaction to AI integration was very clear from the beginning. Yet something so simple as a global Off-switch for all things AI is still not even in testing.Yet they keep adding AI stuff.
>>
>>107859686
But bro you can just go into about:config and turn it off!
>>
>>107859249
>built with you
>not for you
So you're using me as labour to help build something that I have no use for? I don't think that's quite the marketing blurb they imagined.
Did an AI write that shit? Starting to showing it's intentions of using people as slave labour for it's own purposes, is it?

>>107859249
Oh no...

Anyway

idk you people but this sounds awful to me, I don't want a computer to be equal to me, I am a computer racist

That's modern web bloat.
I prefer it that way because Chrome unloads unused tabs by default which fucking SUCKS

I somehow doubt this, I think the memory/ram leak comes from ff

>>107859850
That doesn't disable all of the ml.browser* options from about:config running in the background :)

At the very least this feature is mildly useful. It just processes data locally so no real phoning home issue. It does usually not even work correctly but it saves a couple of seconds
>>
>>107859991
I don't need it, and these are all solutions – clunky, bloated, unreliable, inconsistent solutions – in search of problems. Who asked for this?

>>107859291
Loli and shota hentai is only illegal in like 30 countries, tho.
Plus, the problem with AI embedded into browsers is not related to spying but more about web pages embedding text in shit that can't be seen by humans but the AI picks up, and this vulnerability can't be fixed without removing completely the AI from the browser.
Prompt injection if you want to look it up.
>>
>>107859249
My about:config doesn't have this issue
>>
>>107859661
What the fuck are you even talking about. Google has absolute power over them. Mozilla would collapse immediately without their money. Nobody else needs Firefox as an antitrust shield and it has no market share, so Google is the only viable provider of capital. God knows how long that'll last in now that antitrust is dead; hopefully no-one reminds Pichai that Mozilla exists.
>>
>>107860021
There are only about 30 countries that even have a vaguely functioning legal system, and it's illegal in all of them except Japan, and everywhere else you'll get lynched or stoned anyway if someone finds out...

>"Mozilla has contacted me shortly after writing the story to confirm that the “AI Kill Switch” will be implemented in Q1 2026, as Mozilla’s new CEO Anthony Enzor-DeMeo also confirmed this earlier today on Reddit. However, once you use the AI Kill Switch, if you want the AI features back you will have to re-install the web-browser."
