Where is the demand for ai on Firefox?

[–] BrikoX@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 months ago (6 children)

It's internal. They are becoming irrelevant (their browser market share have been shrinking for years now), so they are jumping all the new hype trends now. They literally just became an ad company. We have Google, Apple, Brave and Mozilla all being an ad companies that produce browsers.

But hey, atleast we have Falkon browser. Except for being based on WebKit the browser itself isn't currently maintained by an ad company.

Is Mozilla still nonprofit or are they changing their moto?

They are still a nonprofit. Op was being monstrously hyperbolic.

I was being factual. Unless you can dispute anything I said?

There is also Vivaldi (based on Chromium/Blink) which is employee owned, but the choices are shrinking.

Mozilla Foundation is still non-profit, but Mozilla Corporation is not. And while they claim to operate by Mozilla Manifesto, it's non-binding and has been broken multiple times. Remember Pocket and their promise to open source it?
