• A Chrome extension called “Microsoft to Microslop” that renames Microsoft references in browsers as a protest against the company’s aggressive AI integration.
  • The extension reflects widespread user frustration with Microsoft’s Copilot AI, which faces extremely low adoption rates and growing privacy concerns among Windows users.
  • Many users actively seek ways to remove AI features from Windows, highlighting significant backlash against Microsoft’s AI strategy despite CEO dismissals of complaints.

    My claim is that firefox gets worse by adding the features nobody asked for

    Most of those new features are absolutely amazing, like the instant translation of almost any page,
    Creating tags for images that don’t have them for blind people, is an amazing feature for blind people.
    If you don’t like them you don’t have to use them. You don’t get to dictate that others shouldn’t have them on false accusations.
    Some of us like a feature-full high quality browser, that respect our privacy.

    their development, purely out of FOMO of the AI hypetrain,

    OK and which functions are that?
    You’re just riding the AI hate train and think that’s the default correct position. And sometimes it is, but not in this case.
    And guess again, because Mozilla is actually using AI for things that are both useful and noninvasive.
    So why don’t you piss off and go use a terminal browser instead if that’s what you want.
    Alternatively there are a lot of decent open source browsers you can use, that don’t have the advanced features of Firefox.
