Colorways AI, now with added colors.
What strikes me as odd is the decision to position itself as just another AI‑enabled web browser, picking a fight with big techs and better‑funded startups whose users are less hostile (and sometimes enthusiastic) about adding AI to web browsing.
It’s about “being better”, except at one point that meant acting better, but now it means trying beat their metrics.
Not even joking, only used it the other day cause I didn’t know what it was and was reading a couple of forum posts on how to change the atf in my car, and after accidently clicking it, I noted how it listed removing 12 quarts of fluid and re-adding 8 on the summarized steps (for reference the transmission only holds 8 quarts, and you can’t get them all, just kinda cycle through with more new than old).
Not very impressed with it to say the least.
Mozilla wants, obviously!

Because they ousted the person who had been groomed to take over by the previous CEO when they had cancer and the new person is a moron.
Speak for yourself, I would love ai in Firefox. I want it to scrape receipts I get in emails and use them to fill out insurance reimbursement forms. They’re so tedious.
I’m sure it would be possible to write a software that does that, without ai - and it would probably do it better/more reliably, too.
I’ve lately found that Copilot is really good at banging out simple Tampermonkey scripts.
Maybe but not flexibly. The big benefit of ai is that you can throw new information and situations at it and it can adapt and reason. I don’t want to wait for the template programmers to add a scraper for my specific doctor’s office.
I, too, am someone who’s looking forward to trying this out.
And job applications that always ask the same 2000 questions with slightly different formatting.
