Mozilla, the company that recently added a "disable AI" toggle to Firefox?
It's not as good as not implementing the things in the first place, for people who don't want it, but making it a paid model for removing features would net them more flack, I feel. They'd be accused of trying to squeeze their user base, when Firefox is traditionally free.
Then you understand exactly why Mozilla is so problematic.
Mozilla wrote the playbook that said "Defaults matter!!!" and then Mozilla made their defaults shit. Mozilla should be apologizing to you for requiring a switch to begin with. If they had any semblance of morality, they would be endlessly contrite.
I saw that toggle for the first time today. Made me feel a little better about all the AI stuff and that sometimes my telemetry settings reset. I don't know if the tele thing is ff or just my config to be clear. Today my wife asked me for how to get rid of the ai search summary in Chrome. That leads me to believe that even some "normies" aren't thrilled with AI everywhere. I agree with you that a paid version of ff would rankle the community.
