I don't want a browser with inbuilt AI and a configuration switch to disable it: a switch which might inadvertently or maliciously be set to enable the AI features.
An addon that provides the AI features would be better: I could choose not to install the addon and to enable the AI features, an attacker would have to breach security to the extent they could install and enable the addon. At that point, they probably already have access to all my data anyway.
AI systems are, at the current state of the art, fundamentally unreliable and insecure. See, for example AI Agent, AI Spy.
Mozilla has decided that it will build AI features into Firefox. Therefore, I am forced to seek an alternative to the browser I have used preferentially for decades.
Nothing is forever and it is time for change, but not the change Mozilla intends.
It does make me wonder who funds Mozilla and what their real objectives are.
