I don't need or want any of that AI crap in my browser. Hopefully there will be a compiler flag to disable it.

The article says nothing about incorporating AI into the browser.

Firefox is diversifying it's offerings, and focusing on two discrete projects.

From the article:

Mozilla seized an opportunity to bring trustworthy AI into Firefox, largely driven by the Fakespot acquisition and the product integration work that followed. Additionally, finding great content is still a critical use case for the internet. Therefore, as part of the changes today, we will be bringing together Pocket, Content, and the AI/ML teams supporting content with the Firefox Organization.

Seems like they’re planning to incorporate AI into the browser.
