Hey Firefox friends! We’re trying something new and would love your help. Features like tab groups, vertical tabs, profiles, new tab wallpapers, PWAs, and taskbar pinning weren’t just ideas – they were direct responses to what you told us you wanted. Your input has helped shape where Firefox is tod...
In no particular order
about:config--appparameter)i get where you’re coming from but NO telemetry would be terrible for fixing bugs and idiosyncrasies
Not having telemetry was fine the last 30 years.
you say that, but have you ever tried fixing bugs only based on end-user reports?
there’s a reason firefox has open tickets that are 25 years old.
i don’t think AI should be killed completely since some people may use it, but it should at least be opt-in.
everything else you suggested is good
AI is the best way to offer local translations that don’t send your private data off to someone else’s server
If the translations would be any good, yes.
If it’s your personal data, I would definitely not send it to a server. A bad AI translation is still better than sending a page containing passwords over the network
This confuses me because all the other browsers have integrated AI, so removing it makes little sense. I do think it will eventually move to the OS though and that time can’t come soon enough.
Just make the AI bullshit opt in. I don’t want AI, and I’m not alone on that.
This is one of the reasons I started using Firefox again.
