MODERATORS
What purpose is served by having AI built-in to the browser?
The implementation doesn't sound terrible.
So if you already use GPT for day-to-day, it may be a welcome experience. If you don't, don't opt in.
I'm skeptical of GPT add-ons, bit at least this was done in a low-bloat opt-in way (which allows Mozilla to bring in revenue (probably)).
Know what's even more opt in? An official extension. Installed only if someone wants it.
I switched to LibreWolf and Mull a few months ago in preparation for this. I'll come back to Firefox if the investors pull their collective heads from their asses.
