It does not mean Firefox can no longer be installed or run on non-certified or rooted Android devices, but it might mean that users on non-certified or rooted devices can’t access all AI features in Firefox for Android.

Important note

Oh no! Not the AI features!

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Sooo... If I root my phone I don't have to deal with AI in Firefox?

[–] sudo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Or you could... Press the disable AI button... The one Firefox added shortly after users pushed back on the added AI 'features'...

You mean the button that shouldn't even need to exist? That button?

The button added to disable something I didn't ask for, need or even wanted in the first place? You mean that button?

What a novel idea...

That's a lot to handle for luddites.

Or you could install IronFox

Nobody wants that garbage anyway so no big loss.

Oh no! ... Anyway...

Wait what, this sounds like a win..?

I don't trust that. If they're implementing it for AI only now, they will likely let it seep into other areas of Firefox later
