Didn't they say similar shit about tracking, too? Then they backtracked that with later updates?
It sucks to see, but I think Firefox is going down the shitter.

Im already using the "ai killswitch" by using a different browser.
If you're confident in the value of the AI, make the feature Opt In.
Let the strength of your product speak for itself.
Get fucked, Mozilla. Your credibility won't come back.
Yeah I'm not touching Firefox. Will stick to Librewolf.
Yeah, nah.
It's already bad enough that they waste dev time with this shite instead of, you know... improving the browser for the users. Bloody slopbrowser, your only redeeming quality is to not be Chromium.
To make it worse, after a recent update, it's been constantly crashing on my laptop running Linux and the HDD on my desktop still running win10. I can't go more than a minute before it freezes up and crashes. Good thing it's not my main browser anymore.
I haven't seen that, but the memory footprint is insane
What happened iny case is the only time I have ever seen this issue. Thankfully a fresh install seems to have fixed it.
Sounds like your HDD needs replaced to a fancy SSD
I don't think it's that since my laptop is a model that only comes with an internal SSD and was having that issue until Firefox decided to refresh itself. If anything, either a new motherboard and/or graphics thingamajig would be in order considering my desktop struggled hard to get through the year review thing in the win10 client without crashing or needing to refresh.
If they could develop F-AI-refox as a separate browser I could be cool with Firefox.
Frefox? Freefox? Wait, that's actually a good name (unlike, say... Clbri).
Id prefer an on switch
'oh, don't worry; you can turn it off!'
That's what they all say. Fucking rapists.
Fuck you, it's not going on my system. It's sure as hell NEVER being installed in something like a web browser that has access to my password vault when it's unlocked.
I might(unlikely) have considered it, if it was op-in. But just the fact that it's opt-out means I've got to make a point of turning it off, AND regularly verifying it's stayed off because it will "accidentally" turn on again.
....
MAYBE don't trivialize rape by comparing a software you don't like to... rape.
This captain crunch is genociding my mouth!
Perhaps Mozilla doesn't quite fit into this category, as their software is far more optional to the average user than say, Microsoft Edge or Copilot being forcibly installed on every Windows PC; but more and more companies are forcing features on users that don't want them, after being told over and over again:
NO, WE DON'T WANT THIS SHIT
Refusing to take 'no' for an answer, and instead doing whatever you want to people IS a rapists mentally and I will not apologize for pointing it out.
Perhaps Mozilla doesn't quite fit into this category,
Then don't fucking compare it to rape
God damn better be
Like, in general or just that specific browser instance?
Mozilla using rapey techbro language.
Mozilla: "You said you didn't want it, but I know you really do. So shut up and enjoy it. If there is issues you can just kill it and it won't come back."
So done with their bullshit. After 25 years they have lost my trust.
