Eich's own company, Brave, is pushing AI plenty hard: the Brave browser promotes a "smart AI assistant" called Leo. That's much more AI integration than I see in Firefox.

The UX can be disabled, and Leo as a whole can be removed via group policy. https://search.brave.com/ask?q=how+to+disable+leo+ux+in+brave+browser%3F%3F&source=dq-desktop&conversation=0864855c7a49c0a790c101076b177187300f https://search.brave.com/ask?q=how+to+disable+leo+ux+in+brav...
- mikkupikku 11mo agoI don't speak for everybody but personally I like applications experimenting with ways of using new technology instead of taking some sort of political stand against AI. Firefox's translation extension is based on such technology I believe, and works well enough, I like it. Going further, like Brave is doing, also seems interesting. I think people who get upset about ineptly implemented AI features are being a bit unreasonable. It's new technology so people still have to. figure out what does or doesn't work. Mozilla using funds to develop new browser features is something I want more of, not less.
- johnnyanmac 10mo agoExperiment if you want. But leave it at that until it's polished. I shouldn't have alpha features forced on me as a default.That's the primary problem with this AI push. Google keeps trying to push "AI mode" in my face, Microsoft tries to stamp Copillot on my main Taskbar. At least when Rider asked me about it, I say "no" once and that's the end of it.Cool, no hard feelings. You're $15 a month is earned.
