    I keep reading posts like this, but as a daily Firefox user, I wonder where you encounter AI there? Apart from these posts, I haven’t noticed anything at all so far. What does AI do in Firefox? And what’s the problem with it?

      In truth, people have a visceral reaction because the world is trending in a way they don’t like, and it has the unfortunate effect that companies that do what these people like the most, or more than other companies, end up the most punished because those people are the most likely to give backlash. This results in them losing and things being even worse.

      Right now there are barely any AI integrations in Firefox, so people are just kneejerk overreacting. At worse they have a feature you have to try to hit where you can have the AI LLM provider of choice summarize a page for you and that type of thing.
