“TABS [by Mozilla] pulls exactly the data you need—from HTML to Markdown to JSON—using the fastest, most efficient method for each page. It adapts to the structure and complexity of the site, staying stealthy and reliable so your [AI] agents always get what they need without friction.”

It's so depressing how orgs like #Mozilla squander volunteer goodwill for nothing. They'll never recover from this self-inflicted damage:
«Mozilla’s translation bot on Support Mozilla (that is currently overwriting user contributions is based on the closed source, copyright infringing LLM, Google Gemini. This is in spite of Mozilla claiming that they are at the forefront of open source AI, and belies their exhortations to choose to build open source AI and data sets»

Sooooo... any alternatives for Firefox and Thunderbird yet? #Mozilla
@gedankenstuecke@scholar.social2025-12-16 14:51:09
So #Mozilla Corp's new CEO is really set on continuing to sell of the last bit off trust and goodwill people might have had towards them… …to go with "AI" and "privacy preserving ads"

@…
I can't tell if you're the same entity as the people adding so-called AI to Firefox, are you? Or can you pass a message on?
My message would be: Firefox would be much more valuable as a privacy-first, climate-conscious, efficient alternative to the other browsers jumping on the LLM bandwagon.

Na de zoveelste rare move bij #Mozilla ga ik nu toch maar overstappen op #Librewolf, te beginnen met de desktop.

God, can someone please finally take #Firefox out of the hands of #Mozilla and their damn "AI" bros?
When they started adding all of this nonsense I went into my about:config to explicitly set "browser.ml.enable" to "false", but apparently even doesn't save you, as the new "features" will just not give a damn. 🫠

#Mozilla is doing great. #Firefox is vendoring an old vulnerable version of #Expat with custom patches on top. Of course, they never even bothered communicating their needs to Expat upstream. But I guess when AI is the future, #security is a thing of the past.
(That said, I don't know if these vulnerabilities actually affect Firefox.)
