Disable AI, disable targeted ads... What's wrong with you, Firefox ?

In their defense, they're in a bit of a precarious financial situation. Most of their money comes from Google, who happens to also be their largest competitor.

The amount of money comes from the number of people willing to use and tolerate their defaults. Surely, burning all the good will they've built up can't possibly improve that, can it?

Maybe they shouldn't pay their CEO a sizable fraction of the entire company's income and also stop wasting money on AI bullshit and gimmicks like Pocket or whatever their latest obsession is.

Maybe they'd be in a better position if they focused their resources on building their core product? I know that's a wildly radical concept these days...
