Firefox better stop with pushing AI and features that no one wants.

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 day ago (10 children)

All of the AI functions can be disabled with a single checkbox.

[–] Kyrias@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Still rather they spend the resources they spend on AI elsewhere.

Seriously, like, I have a Mozilla account for syncing but holy fuck it only syncs bookmarks. I have to fucking reconfigure every goddamn setting ever time I reinstall my OS or change laptops. It would be so goddamn easy to just send some fucking JSON to a server somewhere but no, they're coming up with new logos and mascots and AI bullshit. It's 2026 and I can't sync my settings.

You can copy the config folder between machines. I've been using the same Firefox profile since ~2009.

I solved this the hard way, with Home Manager

And the ai be opt-in in the first place. I guess they know no one would enable it otherwise.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

i'd immediately enable translations.

I maintain that AI features should have been an optional extension, not a mandatory baked-in feature that could have been accomplished with one.

Especially because Mozilla isn't just devoting developer time to it, they have been pushing whole feature updates to these "optional" components inside bugfix releases

Yeah... I can't wait until servo is finally stable enough to build an actual browser around.

AI is a cash cow rn -- it makes sense for firefox to try grab some of the waterfall while it's still running.
