No thank you, I’d rather not.

Enshittification, here we come

I have no problem with this, some people seem to like it, and it’s completely optional and easy to remove.

Is the feature request page an astroturfing campaign or is there really such a pathetic crowd within Firefox’s userbase?

Firefox could’ve added Mistral or Deepseek and they could’ve made money charging for zero-data-retention inference on Mozilla’s servers. But no, they would rather to do free work for a marketing company (that’s what Perplexity is - they’re not even an “AI” company - their best products are finetunes of Meta’s and Deepseek’s open-weight models and these finetunes are somehow stupider than the originals).

Don’t need it. Just need a good, unbiased search engine, kind of like what google was at first… But I like that you listen to your users. :-)
