Meanwhile, on the App Store, Firefox claims to champion privacy is now advertising AI partnerships as a new feature 馃槒 it is turned on by default but you can turn it off. Overall the future of Firefox is not so bright.

The phone screen is purple, displaying a search bar with sparkles, and text that reads "Search Smarter with AI" and "Meet Perplexity AI in Firefox. Get conversational answers with trusted citations for faster, more confident browsing." A banner at the top reads "NOW AVAILABLE."

This is a paid partnership disguised as a privacy feature that Mozilla is pushing on everyone. I can鈥檛 believe how much they have fallen from their days of fighting against IE. On a related note, the Linux Foundation is getting pretty cozy with AI these days. Is this another Mozilla in the making? You decide.

@nixCraft are they gaining anything out of this other than losing respect of their userbase? Because most of the companies are unprofitable when it comes to their AI features and you would think they would like to make more profits instead of losing it
