I'm proud to join Waterfox tonight and just deleted Firefox from my Mac. Buh bye, losers. 🖕

AI was trained on stolen data, breaching our privacy. AI can sort through the internet, gathering info on us, violating our privacy. There is no privacy in a world with AI. You need to find a CEO who can protect us, not sell us out, or move out of the way for an organization that will.

Do you not see how badly Larian Studios is getting dragged over the coals TODAY for their CEO's mention of using AI? What made you think today of all days was the day to decide to utterly crater your entire user base? Reverse your garbage decisions.

It's so disappointing to learn that my favorite browser has decided to render itself dysfunctional as a line item in its new CEO's resume. This shows such a poor understanding of user needs.

Bye bye Mozilla

Time to repost this I guess

There is fundamentally no way to make AI at the scale of something like OpenAI or Google without blatantly disrespecting artists' ownership of their works. The reason I use Mozilla products is specifically because they DON'T have AI products like that.

I hope you see not only that "Mozilla Firefox" is trending, but that's it's not for good reasons. Having been a user since version 1.5, I have already demoted Firefox to being my number 2 browser behind Waterfox. Please reconsider your direction before you drop further...or, completely.

This is a massive mistake.

How fucking stupid are you? None of us wants an AI-based browser. Loads of us switched to Firebox *because* we wanted to avoid the slop and security/privacy concerns on Chrome. We'll dump you ass so fast you'll be seeing stars.

We do not want AI. Please stop with that AI slop.

Is your new CEO planning on stripping the company for parts, or is he just incompetent?

Nobody wants AI. Your priorities are garbage. PS: I'm uninstalling Firefox today and I'm not coming back.

Follow the advice of those words and keep your products the fuck away from AI.

Bro i liked what mozilla was doing but AI??? I do not want AI. I cant search images anymore and find something real

Please keep AI away from Firefox, nobody wants that.

My friends used Firefox because it'd been one of the few browsers that HADN'T bloated itself with tech bro sludge. As of this post, they're already using forks. Your users are usually those who understand tech enough to have strong opinions about its use — and for AI, they're NEGATIVE. Reconsider.

You should fire your CEO and execs before Mozilla loose all of its userbase. Stop using AI slop, and use your brain instead. Real people are using your browser, not ai tech bros with some shareholding in Ai. When the bubble bursts, your users will be long gone and settled with better non ai browser

you have no idea what you're doing, quit

Stop pushing AI on people, you out-of-touch clods.

I will be swapping browsers because of this choice of ai.

AI doesn't work for people. It works against people. You are about to see a massive exodus of users. When all this shakes out, AI browsers and AI software will only be talking to other AI browsers and AI software. The rest of us will have moved on.

Generative AI is a fascist project.

CEOs study the new coke flop challenge

Sigh, I recommended Firefox to so many people and now look what you've done!! AI sucks and now, so does your new CEO and his intent... PS: That announcement was laughable. It reads as though he has never written anything besides memos in his life. AI long🧵 but this one really ticks me off!

Adding my voice to the Chorus of people who do NOT want AI baked into the browser. This is what your EXTENSIONS are for. If you absolutely feel the need to integrate AI in the browser, then do so as an optional extension framework. Sincerely, Someone who's used Firefox for 15 years.

NO NO NO NO NO!!! Fire the CEO, and delete the AI garbage out of Firefox, or I will delete Firefox off all of my devices and out of my life. I am so f**king over having AI trash shoved in everything!

Hey, here's an idea: quit trying to force genai bullshit down our throats. I switched to firefox in the first place to get AWAY from that garbage.

I have some excellent advice on how to make AI work for people, hope this helps shape you

shape AI with my balls

I will throw firefox out the window so fucking fast. Fuck AI

dude that's crazy i innovated on AI by switching to LibreWolf where I don't have to hear a garbage LLM tell me glue on pizza increases the cheesiness and that jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge is a great way to fix my depression

And behold, with the arrival of new machine men with machine minds, The Beast became The MechaBeast and the people looked from the Beast to Mammon, and from Mammon to Beast, and from Beast to Mammon again; but already it was impossible to say which was which - The Book of Mozilla 4:20

hugely disappointing. Already very annoying having to remove this stuff, that you're going full steam ahead with this destructive tech is shameful. No longer going to be using your products.

Who asked for an AI browser? Outside of your boardroom I mean

I don't see why anyone who wants an "AI browser" would even leave Microsoft or Google. Genuinely who would Firefox be for if it fully descends into AI?

Firefox "will evolve into a modern AI browser". Kindly go fuck yourself, new CEO et al

fire your ceo

AI is *not* what I want or need from Mozilla's browsers.

I wouldn't recommend ladybird, the lead dev is a chud

I'd hate to break the streak from Netscape 3 to today, but if you put any AI shit in Firefox I will leave and never look back.

fire your CEO

Saw your commitment to go with more AI today, in totally unrelated news I just switched browsers from Firefox as I don't want any fucking AI.

You guys were in such a strong position. People have been jumping ship from Chrome from how icky it's getting. And you were there to accept them. Now y'all are just setting ypurselves up to bounce people off to something else.

Who is this for? Seriously, your userbase is entirely weird nerds, this is only going to cost you users.

I don't want it.

AI does NOT work for people. AI works for greedy billionaire ecocidal maniacs. Some of them PDF files. If you walk the AI path, Mozilla will die. We users will leave. Is that what you want? Sad because I was considering donating to you. I'd rather stab myself in the foot.

Chasing a trend that's old enough that the market has already consolidated around a duopoly with crushing dominance? At best, you're showing up a day late and a dollar short. At worst, well, google "Concord" sometime. Trend chasing is poison for a company with a small market share like Mozilla.

Are you aware that remaining Firefox users will most likely need to search for another browser because of all this AI shit?

AI is an algorithm that uses information available. This includes accurate and INACCURATE! It also accesses bias and opinions. Its filters are not great. It is on no way ready for prime time. I've worked in IT for 30 years.

Bless your precious little hearts, dearies.

There is no "AI" that works for people. What marketing tech bros try to push is nothing but theft and environmental destruction on par with Captain Planet villains.

It's impressive how many companies are blinded by AI. You had an ideal position as an efficient and open source alternative to Google Chrome, now people are going to find an alternative to you unless you quickly act... Why don't companies never ask their customers... #Waterfox

*Waves at waterfox*

No. I will stop using Firefox. Look at Microsoft's latest report that basically nobody uses Copilot, forcing them to scale back on AI.

So . . . no generative AI, I assume?

I have been using Firefox for close to 15 years if not longer, the moment you implement AI im gone, you can fuck right off with that.

Go fuck yourself

There's no faster or more effective way to convince your entire userbase to abandon your product and switch to something else than to fill it full of AI slop that nobody asked for or wants.

Please no. I do not want AI in my browser. You are throwing away your money in order to lose customers. This is like PBS saying "You know what we need? More commercials."

Like at this point we've all stopped encouraging ppl to donate to your organization because you're out here bragging about throwing their money in the garbage

It doesn't work for people, so get it out of your fucking browser and stop wasting your money and time and ruining everyone's lives

So it is with much frustration that I find out Mozilla are aiming to turn Firefox into "a modern AI browser", per new Mozilla CEO Anthony Enzor-Demeo's first blog post in the role. (4/13)

you will lose every single person that uses firefox if you do this, you incredibly short sighted morons

@mozilla.org the only way to do that is full criminalization of LLMs, and the death penalty for training them or using gen AI at all.

Preach sister!

just by reading the Mozilla CEO's opinions on AI i can immediately tell they have an IQ around the level of dryer lint

If you keep filling firefox with AI slop I will stop using it.

If you force AI on us, I'm out. A user of Netscape since around 95. I heavily promoted Firefox to everyone when IE was forced on us. No one wants AI. Take a hint. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

no

And just like that your user base is leaving. Time to find another browser

go fuck yourself you ignorant inbred pieces of shit; we don't want AI. you're going to follow through with this irregardless though and then you're going to be so upset we're posting the consequences of your actions in response. like the poisoned environment and hallucinations.

Fucking morons. Diehard Firefox user since almost two decades. Get fucked, wankers.

Fuck off. Done with you. Way to ruin one of the few good things left on the internet.

I see someone participate into "How to destroy our product" course for CEOs. To bad it's been a good time. Time to dig out the old Internet Explorer installer.

Fuck you.

We don't want AI on Firefox.

(Please no, I have never found an AI that was in any way useful or made amnyone's experience better online. AI has its uses but NOT in comseumer products.)

👏YOU👏ARE👏PART👏OF👏THE👏PROBLEM👏

Fuck your AI.

Fuck off with this AI garbage

Hi, longtime Firefox user. I'm looking into browsers that don't integrate any AI at all. Sad that I have to cross you off the list

I've been a firefox user for nearly 2 decades. You've just pushed me to look at alternatives. AI and privacy are not compatible. You don't understand your user base at all do you.

You should stop and rethink your life.

in the same way that bringing inflation to zero won't bring prices back down. Sincerely, an AI researcher

Firefox has been my default browser for over 20 years, but I am SO close to switching over this AI garbage. Nobody wants this. Stop pushing it on us.

AI doesn't work for people. I mean, have y'all just not, you know, *tried it out*? It doesn't work. It's wrong far too often. It's pointlessly smushed into apps (AHEM) it has no business being in. Adding AI to Firefox absolutely SCREAMS "selling out to surveillance capitalism." Fuckin' DONE. Bye.

WE DONT WANT AI. NOBODY WANTS IT. STOP.IT.

Nah, can that shit

I'll be be clear and direct: I have used Firefox for years. After hearing about your plans to become a "modern AI browser", I will no longer be using Firefox.

I am against of adding more AI slopware to Mozilla Firefox, my favorite browser.

Let a HTML browser be just that. There is a code on website, there is an interpreter in the web browser. Please avoid an intermediate logic insertion.

I already dropped Edge because fuck Microsoft, just dropped Chrome for the privacy issues and now thanks to IA slop Firefox goes too. Really?! Read the room people. I love Firefox but is time to leave.

You idiots.

Your new positioning is so ass backwards to the userbase you've nurtured for so long. I hope the consequences come sooner than later.

Ew

i can't wait for you chuds to lose money because of this

I will never use firefox again so long as you morons kept pushing this slop

you ai ghouls are the worst

suck my dick

The only shape we want is the splash Ai evangelists make when they're hurled into the sea.
