While Chrome, Edge, and others race to add AI features, alternative browser Vivaldi has other plans. Its leader says users overwhelmingly feel the same about AI: “Hell no!”
I think Mozilla sees there is a bigger userbase interested in AI features than the userbase distancing themselves from it. and they need to be doing something to grow the market share because they are disappearing.
I don’t know whether it’s a good path for them. what I know is that thanks to volunteers like librewolf, I can continue using a browser on my terms.
I agree that that’s what Mozilla seems to be doing, but that doesn’t seem like a smart idea at all. Mozilla has their niche (that they’re alienating), while AI enthusiasts already have browsers that did the AI thing earlier than Mozilla, and probably much better.
Mozilla should really take note. For all that talk about ethics - more than a whole manifesto worth - they really would rather reject the easy W.

But don’t take my word for it alone:
