Am engineer. Know zero professional people in the engineering community who use AI browsers, and very few who even touch AI for anything aside from docs or stats.
In my personal life I know zero people who use these browsers. I think this is just panic from the higher ups at Mozilla who have no idea what in the fuck the company should be doing or is about, even.
Start making tools to give to people to combat this bullshit from the EU. Build a USABLE and decentralized chat app that people can actually use FFS. Build something like Proton and ACTUALLY BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT.
Others have eaten your lunch because of this exact thing. Do better.
"Am engineer". This is reddit level cringe stuff. There are tons of engineers, we're not special and most of us are equally dumb. Its funny you mention proton when they've made pro-***** statements and then trying to stay neutral in the blowback. "AI" has its uses like you said, in docs and stats. Firefox will NEVER be self-sufficient because they exist on funding from Google to exist as their only competition to not be a browser monopoly. As much as we hate it, there is a complicated line to be towed here. Mozilla isn't perfect, but they're far from an enemy here. The Firefox forks we love so much won't exist without this
