After the controversial news shared earlier this week by Mozilla’s new CEO that Firefox will evolve into “a modern AI browser,” the company now revealed it is working on an AI kill switch for the open-source web browser.
On Tuesday, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo was named the new CEO of Mozilla Corporation, the company behind the beloved Firefox web browser used by almost all GNU/Linux distributions as the default browser.
In his message as new CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo stated that Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software while remaining the company’s anchor, and that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.
What was not made clear is that Firefox will also ship with an AI kill switch that will let users completely disable all the AI features that are included in Firefox. Mozilla shared this important update earlier today to make it clear to everyone that Firefox will still be a trusted web browser.
Thank you, I make sure to do my own research
Okay, so would you like to now elaborate on what that research was, and why that research proves that it's so impossible for me to be correct that it's reasonable to call me an idiot? Or is it just the case that you hate AI, and thus merely thinking it's possible that people may use it as a browser interface means I deserve to be insulted?
It should be self-evident, I'm surprised you can't see it
So, to summarise, you have no actual evidence, you're insulting me for not coming to the same conclusion you came to just based entirely on vibes?
Given that natural language interfaces are pretty ubiquitous (you almost certainly have Gemini/Google Assistant or Siri on your phone by default), I think "it's self-evident" is not a compelling argument here
That's why you will never achieve enlightenment, to be fair
You do not know in the sixth way
Lol
