Mozilla wants your input.

Mozilla wants input
WTF is the point, Mozilla has not listened to users for years.

Capable and presumably morally sound developers were sacked, the ones that stayed could be twisted in to the plot of constant deceipt.

From best of the best to mediocre and market share still dropping.

Fleecing users, see merino for pulling wool over eyes

Now even worse plans in addition

Chief extortion officer wants to embrace AI and ads.

No sane and discerning user wants
either of those

I want mozilla to PREVENT AI - to create a field where AI can't operate. To bring an entire domain's AI to a halt on click.

@vmbrasseur thx for sharing the link. The theme of my reply was "fix bugs, add boring but useful features", and I was surprised by how much effort it took to request this. Better legislative advocacy is an option, but not bug fixes? Enhanced AI is a checkbox but I have to write in "improve software stability" under Other (Please Specify)?

Everyone vote in this poll too: -

Mozilla should look at the results too as NO AI is winning 92% to 8% so far.

Thanks for posting this. I'd forgotten that Mozilla wanted input. I'm a very long-time user of Mozilla products. Here is what I said, for the record:

Throw away all that AI garbage. Forget AI. It's wasteful and unethically sourced, and not broadly useful for Mozilla's mission, or for most users. Stick to your open source, public-service roots and keep developing good software without any AI.

@vmbrasseur @nixCraft After two decades(?) of pushing people to use Firefox, I’ve given up and use Vivaldi now. I’m hoping Servo becomes a viable alternative to Chrom*, because Firefox has given up completely.
