I find it sad that most comments here just focus on the OPTIONAL AI possibilities, which doesn't even register as an issue for the masses. The problem is an inherently weak-toothed antitrust law framework in the US. The moment the courts did decide against splitting chrome from Alphabet, the options for Mozilla became very, very limited. They can't out-feature Alphabet, they do not have near-unlimited reach to advertise their browser. All they currently can do is play catch-up.

They did out feature Chrome by keeping Manifest V2 support.

main reason I will keep using it as my main browser

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 3 points 2 days ago

That's the main reason I'll stay with them. V3 is such a blatant move to make sure users lose power over their own computer, taking away the right to choose what our devices display or not.

Suspect one of the reasons Google continues to fund Mozilla is specifically to take some heat off anti-trust arguments

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 6 points 2 days ago

I agree. Mozilla are, at this point, more like a hostage than competition.

And Google Chrome has absolutely no leg to stand on, there.
