Trust, once lost, is *incredibly* hard to regain.

I'm trying to keep perspective that this account is (maybe?) run by devs, not the brainrotted management, and the devs still believe they will be allowed to right the ship.

But I find it hard to believe that they're going to be rolling out a prominent "AI kill switch" anytime soon. Not when the CEO says he's turning Firefox into an AI browser. If there was going to be a kill switch, it would have been implemented along with the first AI features -- and since it wasn't, the trust was lost.
