Mozilla is developing a built‑in AI assistant for Firefox that will be offered as a third browsing mode alongside Normal and Private tabs. They’re calling it “Window AI.” Details are still scarce.

“It’s safe to say that the people who volunteered to “shape” the initiative want it dead and buried. Of the 52 responses at the time of writing, all rejected the idea and asked Mozilla to stop shoving AI features into Firefox.”

    I want it, so “nobody wants it” is wrong.

    If you’re wondering why it seems like nobody wants it, just watch the downvote counter on this comment.

      It’s a tool, and I’m glad that you have the opportunity to use it whenever you need. However, I’m not planning to use it, just like I’m not planning on using a bench saw. I don’t mind people using bench saws, but it would be nice if tech companies would stop throwing bench saws at my face everytime I go outside.

      The issue is more of how much LLM are marketed as the saviour of the world, while only a fraction of their users are actually going to have a use for it

      May I ask what about it you like and enjoy? It would be nice hearing someone who considers it advantageous.
