The overhead of disabling every single AI-first change in Firefox is already starting to weigh on firefox-forks.

My view on this hasn't really shifted in the last few months: unless an existing organization, with strong principles, steps forwards and commits to a hard fork I don't really see a future for Firefox.

(I think there are probably only 1-2 orgs with the combination of experience / maturity to actually pull that off, and none of them seem to be even considering that kind of future)

Two button meme split into two panes. In the first pane there are two red buttons on a control panel. One button is labeled “Keep telemetry disabled.” The other is “Enable telemetry so Mozilla can see the disabling of AI features”. In the second pane a visibly sweating man unsure of which button to push is labeled as “privacy minded users”
