A rundown of new features in development for Firefox, including visual image search, more sponsored results in the URL bar, and (of course) more AI integration.
I have said this before: what are they supposed to do? I don’t want external AI, I don’t want google lens in my browser, I don’t want a lot of what they are doing.
But Firefox is in between a rock and hard place. To the average user not having those things is seen as being behind and old. They are told every day how great AI is, and how useful it is.
We have different distributions of Firefox at least. Dunno how feasible it would be for them to release and support a stripped down version. I’m gonna guess it’s not as I would assume a lot of these integrations come with sponsorship money.

So what does Mozilla do?
