Just like browsers. The urge to end a critique with a suggestion for a *better option* is irresistible to some.

It's ok to say they are all bad. It's better than boosting the one which is just a little bit less bad, only because it doesn't have the market share yet to take the mask full off

It's a variation of the assumption that everyone who hates AI hasn't *tried* it. If only they would give it a chance, they'd not be left behind.

here's the help page, so you can judge for yourself https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-ai-controls. We mostly refrain from using "opt-in" because people have different definitions of opt-in, e.g. some have said it's only opt-in if it's in a separate binary.

Firefox's killer feature is that it's not chromium. That's the pull. Nothing to do with tab grouping or UI design.

When your userbase is made of people who don't want bullshit, you are taking a risk with every new feature, especially the ultimate bullshit feature of AI

It's a web browser! It doesn't have to be compelling! It's for accessing compelling stuff!

I feel like the "it's good for building prototypes" vibe coding excuse ignores the way that building a prototype also helps build a strategy for how to code the real thing. As in, a prototype isn't just to validate the idea, it also helps validate the best course of production.

the reason I zoned out in the climactic fight scenes of Tron: Ares is because I don't care who wins in a fight between two CEOs and one of their products.

No amount of Nine Inch Nails UX design can cover the emptiness of that conflict
