With just a few days’ notice, Mozilla terminated my employment this month after leaving me hanging on leave without explanation for several months. My discrimination case against them therefore enters a new phase after this wrongful termination.

What they mean with AI features is also their offline website translation feature, which is something I’ve wanted for years. The alternative is online Google website translation.
Ok wtf is Moxilla doing? They know their company is built on good community perception, right?
They honestly have a monopoly in the sense that they are the only think not Chrome
I mean they’ve been pedaling AI crap for a while without negative backlash.
Similarly they tried to ride the Blockchain train back in the crypto scam days and also didn’t face any backlash.
They’ve publicly vouched to become an AI company and an advertising company without backlash.
I think most Firefox users don’t care

Honestly a lot of Firefox users are eyeing forks
Oh we care, but there’s no alternative besides Chrome and Safari and those companies are even worse (Google definitely is, anyway, Apple is debatable)
Luckily there’s still alternatives like Librewolf that unfortunately still use Mozilla’s browser engine.
I do hope the Servo project will be ready to use in a production browser soon.
Apple is definitely just as fucking terrible.
Compared to Google? Idk. Google doesn’t sell any products to the end user so that says a lot about who the customers are.
Apple sells products. Apple users ARE the customers.
No. Apple’s just getting paid from both sides.
We are stuck with Firefox based browsers for a few years at the minimum as it takes a really long time to develop an engine.
Also Servo is very much not the only thing around. Ladybird exists as well
