Firefox is jumping the shark with this AI thing. A web browser helps you browse the web. it doesn't steal and summarize web content in order to prevent you from visiting web sites.
I think it's barely less disgusting than the blockchain web nonsense. But I acknowledge that it is possible that it is actually even more disgusting.

I remember a friend who worked at a company that made a popular browser, and complained that I didn't have any "skin in the game" when I constantly complained about the browser the company was building.
Great guy, but I could not accept "be quiet, you are not part of this" when I am a browser user, web user, former-web developer (1995-2010) and just a person who gives a shit about privacy, security, and enshittification in general.

Chrome now has a bug where if a web page pops up "log in with Google" it happens in the browser UI, not in the web page UI. And it freezes things up enough so Ctrl-W no longer works to close the tab while the "log in" dialog is displayed.

In this article Adrian delivers a compelling critique of OpenAI's new Atlas browser for encouraging misuse of ARIA tags, intended for accessibility, to help its ChatGPT agent better parse websites, which will worsen web accessibility and fuel SEO abuse. He highlights OpenAI's poor understanding of accessibility standards and warns that this approach could lead to further degradation of web quality and user experience.

My answer is NO to AI in a browser. All I want is for a browser to go to the URL and render the page. A search site to provide me a list of sites that meet my query, not a hallucination of a list. The page that is edited by a person presenting real information and not AI slop.
And yes, I do use AI at times at work. I use it to quickly find documents, but I will do the review to see if they are relevant.

It is silly and ludicrous to lump privacy-preserving webpage translation with GenAI and chatbots and LLMs. While I don't _regularly_ use the translation feature, I absolutely appreciate that the alternative would be something like Google Translate, a materially worse outcome. And, as others have pointed out, bundling a translation tool into the browser makes the web more accessible for people who do not know English. That is a good thing!

Because #accessibility is out of scope for Baseline, devs may not know how poorly supported a feature is and miss an opportunity to vote for things that are barriers to users and risks to orgs.

I have a question for anyone who happens to be knowledgeable about web standards:
The same way we had the (failed?) "DoNotTrack" header... Is there any working group or initiative working on an #HTTP header sent by the browser (or similar mechanism) to signal that the user wants an ecological/lightweight website? Something like "SaveEnergy" or "LowEnergy", or "LightweightMode".
Would it make sense? Or do you foresee that it would fail for some specific reasons?
P.S.: Of course I would prefer if we didn't have to signal our discontent with the unjustifiably big and unoptimized web pages that we are served.
P.S.2: Now I am feeling tempted to write a browser extension for people who want to use "alternative communication channels" (HTTP headers) to "yell" arbitrary stuff at certain websites (It would be glorious if we could coordinate a big "Fuck you, Google", or, in a more positive tone, "Free Palestine!").

Utterly useless, but the Meta Quest 2 headset can now show and sound your avatar with The vOICe vision BCI web app running in its browser (Meta unfortunately still blocks access to the live passthrough camera view) seeingwithsound.com/webvoice/w

FB I have a question. I don't have the app, I run it via the web browser so why do you have a service running? I don't remember being asked to enable that. Nuked the process!

Discovering this is not the best way to choose what spell to cast in a fight. #DnD
