    TBH despite I don’t like this specific idea, nor use Firefox directly, I do like the usage of local inference vs sending your data to thirdparty to do AI.

    They just needed to do it OPT IN, not OPT OUT.

          I really don’t get it either.

          It’s not like it’s a paid product either.

          Because they keep betraying their supposed values for short-term gains.

            What is the gain? What is a single gain you think they have milked from their users?
