Hmm no
Thats the first paragraph from their mission statement here https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mission/
Doesn't say anything about environmentally friendly. Also I think this part "where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent.", and their stance on AI in their browser and it being opt in make sense. Some people want to use it. Let them have a safe and private way to use it. Maybe Mozilla can show how a privacy respecting AI experience can be. Wouldn't that still be a net good?
no no no no it's on by default so it's opt-out, and switch for that isn't even implemented yet
I agree they should have put the switch first but also dev is messy. At least you can about:config it. And even then your data isn't being sold out to anyone unless you use it.
"people first"
puts AI in
