The Perplexity AI will track users for targeted Ads while showing some Gen AI content when you search for something.

The whole point of using Firefox on Linux, or even Windows/macOS or mobile, is to avoid tracking and to maintain safety. How hard is that to understand? Why do they have "tech bro" style executives at a non-profit? They are treating it like a Silicon Valley app where you do everything to collect money. It makes me sick seeing how they are ruining their reputation.

The reason why the old IE versus Firefox match was won by Firefox is because it just did one job: "connect to a web server and display pages," and nothing else. Then these execs hijacked foundations for personal gain, and now here we are in 2025. It is messed up.
