Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

If it's less accurate than previously used methods of translations? Yes.
If it consumes more resources than previously used methods of translations? Yes.
For me firefox translate is better than google translate when translating english to german.
There were no previous methods of translation.
I've been using copy and paste to translation websites both before and after Firefox implemented translation.
Ok so pasting it into another AI. I dont get how this changes anything.
The point is that people say they dont want AI features. But they really dont want chatbot features and are happy with AI being used for text prediction, translation, text to speech, speech to text, OCR and other useful features. Mozilla set themselves apart by adding these features on device and it was a much appreciated privacy step.
They've failed a lot with ai like website building, summerization, tab grouping. But the do need to try otherwise thry wikl always be considered the old browser lacking modern features instead of the bleeding edge trailblazing browser they should be.
Them it's pretty far down my list of objections. It's not automatically enabled and hasn't been too slow or heavy in my experience.
