@impactology @jwz Why are you running the nightly version if you don't want any bugs in your software?

Mozilla wants your input. Here's mine:
Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:
1: Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
2: Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
3: There is no 3.Mozilla should have NOTHING to do with AI. Nobody wants it. Stop forcing AI into every corner of every project because your VC-brained management have completely lost the plot.
@jwz I would happily pay the Foundation IFF they do those things you list. I want my browser to be my tool, not someone else's. I never mind paying for things of value. But I *won't* pay for things which victimize me to enrich someone else.

@jwz My response in the third block:

There is no #3. GET THE FSCK OUT OF THE LLM CESSPOOL!
"But everyone else is adopting AI..."
Oh, so I suppose if everyone else jumped off the Empire State Building, *you* would have to jump off the Empire State Building.
LLMs are the 3D movies of tech. A novelty. It *seems* cool, but in truth it's a *dead end.* Save your reputation. Save your *MONEY!* Get off the bandwagon before it sails off the cliff.

I forgot to add: get a decent spell-check. 5/6 suggestions are just letter-salads, not words.

@jwz The only thing I would add to that list is to provide industry leading developer tools built in to the browser that allow developers to build the most robust, performant, beautiful and standards compliant web apps.

@jwz Make everything AI free Mozilla. We already have human intelligence. AI is simply regurgitating stolen human intelligence

@jwz
I might sound a bit underducated on this, but I also wish they could make the Gecko rendering engine more independently usable. It pisses me off that every new browser is based on Chromium. imo if we make the rendering engine more popular, it will get way more attention and people jumping in to fix issues lying around for years because of lack of staff. -

@jwz agreed, if someone wants LLM integration in their browser - let them install it as a plugin. Or just use Comet instead. Firefox should be like the kernel, everythiing else is userspace programs
