        I’ve been using copy and paste to translation websites both before and after Firefox implemented translation.

          Ok so pasting it into another AI. I dont get how this changes anything.

          The point is that people say they dont want AI features. But they really dont want chatbot features and are happy with AI being used for text prediction, translation, text to speech, speech to text, OCR and other useful features. Mozilla set themselves apart by adding these features on device and it was a much appreciated privacy step.

          They’ve failed a lot with ai like website building, summerization, tab grouping. But the do need to try otherwise thry wikl always be considered the old browser lacking modern features instead of the bleeding edge trailblazing browser they should be.

        Them it’s pretty far down my list of objections. It’s not automatically enabled and hasn’t been too slow or heavy in my experience.
