Right, what trust? The trust they lost by putting dumbass MBAs in charge who don't know shit and chase short term profits over sustaining a healthy community?

The graphene community in the past has pointed out Firefox's incomplete content sandboxing implementation and suggested that other aspects of security are not up to chromiums standard. They pointed out other technical shortcomings as well, though I can't recall them, I'm not sure how urgent they'd be.

This was several years ago, and I'm not sure if any of this has been addressed, but I wouldn't like to rely on manifest v3 compliant ad blocking.

I get the impression that Firefox may continue to lag in this regard, and I don't feel that people like us are made vulnerable by this, though I do worry about people like my parents.

I don't think the majority of FF users are very interested in AI stuff.

I use it. But more as a tool in a whole collection rather than as the single point of truth (as many others do)

I think you misunderstood what I said, or perhaps I wasn't clear. I'm saying the killswitch should have been in place from day one when they started implementing ai features.

That said, Mozilla seems to fundamentally misunderstand their market. The type of people who use firefox are generally pretty tech-savvy, and care about things like privacy and control over their experience. Rather than hone in on features that their users want, they have hitched their wagon to the ai hype train in an attempt to favor curry with the masses.
